India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar played 4-under 69 to jump to T27 before the final round of the US$2 million International Series Morocco presented by Visit Morocco at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat. The 11-time winner on the Asian Tour traded four birdies against a lone bogey in the third round on the challenging course. Meanwhile, Ajeetesh Sandhu slipped to T47; despite carding an impressive six birdies, his round was undone by five bogeys and a costly double bogey, leaving him at 1-over for the day.
The two players in second place experienced contrasting fortunes over the closing stretch. Jazz finished birdie-eagle, while Kho could only par the last two holes, including finding water off the tee on the 17th. Watson, looking for his first win since the 2018 Travellers Championship on the PGA Tour, closed on four-under-par 69, eking out a narrow one-shot advantage over Thailand’s 2022 champion Jazz Janewattananond (67) and Hong Kong’s in-form Taichi Kho (68).
