Indian trio misses cut in Irish Open

The Indian trio of Gaganjeet Bhullar, Shubhankar Sharma, and SSP Chawrasia exited early from the Dubai Duty-Free Irish Open after all three of them missed the halfway cut. Bhullar, who opened with a solid 67, was erratic in his second round 75 while Sharma and Chawrasia shot identical 72-71.

The cut fell at one-under and 66 players made it. On the third day, Robert Rock, whose last win was at the 2012 Abu Dhabi Championships, blazed the Lahinch Golf Club with 10-under 60 that took him to 13-under 197 and gave him a three-shot lead in the clubhouse.

Many others were yet to complete. Jon Rahm (64) had also finished and he was eight-under and tied fourth, as Rafa Cabrera-Bello and Bernd Wiesberger were at 10-under and nine-under but were yet to complete their third round.

Earlier late on Friday, South African Zander Lombard continued his love affair with links golf as he carded a second round 67 to take the halfway lead at nine under total following his 64 in the first. He was one stroke clear of Englishman Eddie Pepperell, who signed for a second round 67 for an eight-under total.
