That was the case Saturday for S.S.P. Chawrasia at the Hero Indian Open.
Chawrasia posted a solid 68 in the third round of the Hero Indian Open, surging past 36-hole leader Terry Pilkadaris, who came in with a Saturday 73 at Delhi Golf Club. Chawrasia moved to 14 under, two ahead of Pilkadaris.
Chawrasia, the 37-year-old native son, lost in a playoff to Anirban Lahiri at this event last year and has overall been a runner up four times at the Indian Open.
