Get ready for a thrilling finale at the DP World India Championship where the leaderboard is heating up with some of golf’s biggest names in the mix. But here’s where it gets controversial. Can RDER Cup stars Tommy Fleetwood and Shane Lowry close the gap on Japan’s Kada Nakajima? Or will the young Japanese talent secure his second DP World Tour victory? And this is the part most people miss. Rory Mroy, seven shots back, is still very much in the conversation after a solid round on Saturday. Let’s dive into the drama unfolding in Delhi. After the third round, Fleetwood and Lowry find themselves just two and three shots off the lead respectively. Fleetwood, who led the field at the halfway mark, and Lowry, the first round leader, are hot on the heels of Nakajima, who delivered a flawless 65 to sit at 17 underpar. Nackroy, meanwhile, carded a four under 68, complete with five birdies and a lone bogey, keeping his hopes alive. Nakajima’s performance has been nothing short of impressive. His round included seven birdies, the most spectacular coming from a 40ft drain at the 12th hole. This isn’t his first rodeo in India. He won the Hero Indian Open in March 2024 and finished as runnerup in the same event in 2025. Is Nakajima the favorite or can Fleetwood and Lowry spoil his party? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Fleetwood’s day was a roller coaster. The FedEx Cup champion started strong with two birdies in his first three holes and another at the eighth. However, he then strung together eight consecutive pars before a three putt bogey at the 17th. His luck turned at the 18th where his approach shot ricocheted off a tree and landed just off the green, setting up a near eagle chip. Fleetwood admitted my pace with the putter was pretty rubbish all day, but I’m not going to be negative. I know I’ve got work to do, but I’ve done so much good so far. Being two shots back, he remains optimistic about his chances in the final group. Lowry at 14 under matched Fleetwood’s three under day, but with a more volatile round that included five birdies and two bogeies. The Irishman expressed frustration with his back nine, saying, “I started hitting loose shots and made some silly mistakes.” Meanwhile, Yen’s Danorp stole the show by equaling Nakajima’s round of the day with a seven under 65, rebounding from an opening bohi to card eight birdies, including seven in nine holes. Here’s a thought-provoking question. With Danorp and others like Victor Havland, six under 66, lurking, is the final round set for a surprise winner, or will the big names rise to the occasion? Havland, alongside England’s Brandon Robinson Thompson, sits at 12 under, keeping his victory hopes alive.
