Sharma, Bhullar stay afloat at T-38th in Dubai Desert Classic

Indian golfers Shubhankar Sharma and Gaganjeet Bhullar carded two-under 70 and three-under 69 respectively to lie tied 38th after the third round of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic here Saturday.

Shubhankar gained eight places, while Bhullar moved 18 places up to Tied-38th at six-under each.

Bryson DeChambeau, called the 'Mad Scientist' in golf, has all his irons and wedges cut to the same length of 37.5 inches to suit his own theories on the game.

On Saturday, he converted a round that seemed to be going the wrong way following back-to-back bogeys on seventh and eighth at which point he was one-over for the day.

He holed five birdies in the last 10 holes for a card of four-under 68 and took sole lead at 16-under and in sight of his maiden overseas win.

Defending champion Li Haotong attempting to become only the second back-to-back winner in Desert Classic after Scotsman Stephen Gallacher did in 2014, shot a third 67 to get to 15-under after a birdie-birdie finish.
