Indian golf star Arjun Atwal soared to third place in the Senior Open with an impressive 5-under 67 in the third round.

After a challenging start with a 3-over 75 on day one, Atwal rebounded dramatically, delivering a series of stellar performances including a 4-under 68 on the second day and a 5-under 67 on the third.

Atwal's total score of six under par puts him just two shots behind current leader KJ Choi of South Korea and one shot behind second-placed Australian Richard Green. The final round promises intense competition with 18 holes left to play.
