Kapur battles to 71, Lahiri is 11th in Jakarta

Shiv Kapur carded a battling 71 on a rather tough and windy Saturday to lie tied 7th, while fellow Indian Anirban Lahiri was tied 11th after the third round of the BNI Indonesian Masters here Friday.

On the traditional moving day, the players were made to work hard as the wind persisted from early in the morning at the Royal Jakarta Golf Club here.

Kapur, two-under at one stage, went as high as Tied-third before bogeys on 11th, 13th and 16th seemed to push him out of Top-10.

However, Kapur, Tied-third here in 2012, clawed his way back with a birdie-birdie finish to rise from one-over to one-under.

At eight-under 208, he is one better than overnight. He is eight shots behind leader Poom Saksansin (70).

Poom, who got a shirt autographed by Henrik Stenson earlier in the year at EurAsia Cup, will play with the Swede in the final group on Sunday.

Putting well again and hitting with amazing precision, Poom is 16-under and three ahead of Stenson (68), whose great charge took him to 13-under.
