Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day at DLF Golf and Country Club.

Chacarra's patience pays off

Spain's Eugenio Chacarra will take a one-shot lead into the final round after managing to stay patient on another tricky day out on course. Chacarra had shared the lead with Keita Nakajima at the halfway stage but made two bogeys and no birdies on the front nine to sit two shots back at the turn. He finally got his first birdie of the day from 12 feet on the 15th, and despite creating further chances, parred his way home to end the day on three under par, one stroke clear of Brandon Stone and defending champion Nakajima. He said: "It was windy. It was probably the most windy day we had out there so I knew I needed to have a lot of patience today. I think I played great. My ball-striking was incredible like it's been all week, so that was nice."

Flag denies Luiten birdie

Joost Luiten judged his long-range birdie putt at the sixth to perfection but was cruelly denied as his ball hit the flag and stayed above ground.

Aphibarnrat drop goes wrong

Kiradech Aphibarnrat dropped his ball on the bank just beneath the eighth green and it rolled straight into the water!

Only three in the red

If you need evidence that it was hard out there, only three players - Stone, Casey Jarvis and Troy Merritt - were able to break par on day three, with the trio all producing one-under-par 71s.

Bob watches on

European Ryder Cup star Robert MacIntyre knows how difficult this week's host course is, having played there in 2023. Watching on from home on Saturday, he wrote on X: "I’ve played the tournament once when it was soft and I thought it was really hard. Never mind brick hard and windy."
