Augusta (USA), Apr 12 (PTI) Indo-British golfer Aaron Rai dropped 20 places to slip to tied 52nd after the third round on a warm, dry day at the Masters here.
Rai, who was tied 32nd after two rounds, shot a 6-over 78, which included just one birdie against five bogeys and a double bogey.
Akshay Bhatia, the Indian-American in the field, had earlier missed the cut.
Cameron Young, beginning his third round eight shots behind Rory McIlroy, shot a 65 to join the overnight leader at the top of the leaderboard. He even took the lead with a 20-foot birdie putt on the 16th, only for McIlroy to catch up at the end.
Young shot 65 and McIlroy carded 73, and by the end of the third day, the two were tied at 11-under par, while Sam Burns (68) was third at 10-under and Shane Lowry (68), who recorded his second career ace at Augusta, was fourth at 9-under. PTI Cor AM AM AM
