Wade Ormsby improved one stroke to sit just one behind Indian leader Rahil Gangjee heading into the final round of the Asian Tour event at Delhi Golf Club.

A birdie on the last hole on Saturday allowed Gangee a round of one-under 71 for an overall total of 11-under-par 205.

Australia’s defending champion Ormsby shot 70 to retain second place but he was joined on ten under by Bangladeshi Siddikur Rahman, Indian teenager Shubhankar Sharma and Mithun Perera of Sri Lanka.

Panuphol Pittayarat of Thailand, who came up with a 69, was one shot behind on 207, setting the stage for an exciting finish on Sunday.

Gangjee, whose lone victory on the Asian Tour came in 2004, rubbished suggestions he came under pressure after leading over the first two days.

“I did not hit the shots and that’s what I did not like about the entire day,” the 36-year-old said.

“But overall, I hung in there, so tomorrow should be a lot better.”
