But Gandas began to find his groove with birdies on the third and fifth holes where a terrific approach shot and a brilliant chip left him tap-in putts. Gandas then sank birdie putts from a range of seven to 10 feet on the eighth and ninth to lead by five shots at the turnover nearest rival Om Prakash Chouhan.Gandas, who has six career titles on the PGTI, then hit a poor approach and missed a short putt on the 10th to drop a double-bogey. Just as Om Prakash Chouhan got within two shots of Gandas, the latter resurrected his round with birdies on the 14th and 15th thanks to his sharp chipping and putting. Gandas finally saw it home in style with birdies on the last two holes including a monster 45-feet conversion on the 18th.Gandas said, "I took one shot at a time and stayed in the present. I had a bad start on the back nine but was steady thereafter and set up a lot of birdie opportunities for myself. Overall, it was a solid round barring a couple of mistakes."I tend to get a bit aggressive as the round progresses but I managed to keep that tendency in check. I kept my composure well," said Gandas."I kept the intensity going after I got my first birdie on the back nine. I'm quite pleased with the records added to my name but my focus is more on taking my game to the next level. This win gives me the momentum for the final two events of the season."It was an amazing experience playing here at the world-class Vooty Golf County for the first time. The course conditions were immaculate. I thank the Dream Valley Group for supporting this event," he added.Om Prakash Chouhan made six birdies on a day he went error-free. He was briefly in contention on the back nine when he got within two shots of the lead.
