India's Shubhankar Sharma survived some shaky moments to maintain his two-shot lead at the WGC Mexico Championship after the third round on Saturday.
Sharma, the 21-year-old Asian Tour Order of Merit leader, carded a two-under 69 at Club de Golf Chapultepec, where his 13-under par total of 200 put him clear of five-time major winner Phil Mickelson, reigning Masters champion Sergio Garcia, Tyrrell Hatton and Rafa Cabrera Bello.
Sharma made a quick start with three birdies in his first six holes. He bounced back from a bogey at the eighth with a birdie at 11, but surrendered a shot at 13. He rolled in a 16-foot birdie putt at 14 to reclaim sole possession of the lead and was two clear even after a bogey at 16. He closed with a tremendous par save at the last, calmly rolling in a 15-foot putt.
