Germany’s Yannik Paul remained the man to hold on to the top of the Hero Indian Open leaderboard heading into the final round, despite seeing his five-shot lead cut to one after a troublesome round on Saturday.
A runaway halfway leader, Paul began to falter, bogeying the second and third holes to give hope to his nearest challengers.
And although he made a hat-trick of birdies from six to lead by three at the turn, last week at the Thailand Classic runner-up Paul missed a host of birdie opportunities on the back nine before a bogey on the short 16 led to a
single shot.

He bounced back with a birdie from around 10 feet on the 17th but with teammate Marcel Siem closing the round with two consecutive birdies in the front group, Paul is now one up with 18 holes to go.
Paul totaled four birdies and three bogeys in a third-round 71 to reach 11 under par for the tournament.
Four-time DP World Tour winner Siem, who regained his card at the qualifying school last year, sits in second place at 10 after posting a 67 on Saturday, with Dutchman Joost Luiten two shots back in third.
Yannik Paul still leads the Hero Indian Open but has cut his lead from five shots to one on Saturday
Paul, who is aiming to become a double DP World Tour winner on Sunday, said: “I’m in a good position and I’m looking forward to playing with Marcel tomorrow.
“To get a win would be amazing. It’s a great event here, but I think it’s the hardest.
“You don’t want to think ahead, you want to stay in the moment because 18 holes is still a lot of golf.
“I’ll just try to rest tonight and wait for tomorrow.”
