Poosit Supupramai produced a spectacular finish to grab a share of the third-round lead at the Bharath Classic 2025 in Gujarat, firing a hole-in-one on the 16th and chipping in for birdie on the last.
He and fellow Thai Jazz Janewattananond adapted well to the Shotgun Start to sit atop the leaderboard at 15-under at Kensville Golf Resort.
Poosit carded a bogey-free 66, while Jazz shot a 65, putting them three strokes ahead of Panuphol Pittarayat, Korea’s Heemin Chang, and Indian amateur Ishaan Chawhan. With the season nearing its end, many players are battling to secure their Asian Tour cards, including Poosit, who is 81st on the Merit list and hoping for a strong finish or a win to earn a one-year exemption.
Poosit, chasing his first Asian Tour title, said luck played a part in his round, especially the ace on the par-three 16th. Meanwhile, Jazz—14th on the Order of Merit—is using the week to sharpen his form ahead of the LIV Golf Promotions event in January, confident his game is trending in the right direction.
England’s Steve Lewton and Spain’s Carlos Pigem sit four shots back in sixth as they also fight to secure their cards. Overnight leader Wooyoung Cho slipped with a 74, while the US$500,000 event continues under joint sanctioning with the newly launched Indian Golf Premier League.
