Udayan Mane and Rashid Khan shared the lead at the end of the third round of the Louis Philippe Cup golf tournament, at Prestige Golfshire here on Thursday.
The duo is tied on 9-under 201 overall, four shots clear of the field.
Udayan carded a one-under 69, his third straight sub-par round, to go on top. Argentine Miguel Carballo, who held the lead overnight, recorded a poor four-over 74 and slipped to tied-third position.
Rashid Khan, a two-time winner on the Asian Tour, carded a fine three-under 67 to move up. Rashid caught fire on the back-nine, making birdies on the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th holes.
Local hope Khalin Joshi joined Carballo in third position.
