The Indian duo was 12 shots behind the leader, the 14-year-old Guan Tianlang of China.

The best Indian performance was by Joshi, who played a three-under 69 with six birdies and three bogeys. Chikka's had rounds of 69, 74 and 71.

While Joshi had the day's best round among the Indians with a 69, Udayan Mane (75-75-70) was the next best with a 70 and he moved up to tied 27th at 220.

Angad Cheema (77-72-72) was lying tied 32nd at five-over, Honey Baisoya (76-72-76) was tied 38th and Manav Das stayed at tied 43 with a rounds of 79, 70 and 75 for a total of nine-over 225.

Tianlang continued to lead the field even after carding a third round even-par 72. He held a two-shot lead over Australian Oliver Goss going into the final day.

After leading on the first two days with rounds of 66 and 64, Guan remained at 14-under, but the big-hitting Goss, a quarter-finalist at this year's US Amateur, closed in on his playing partner with a bogey-free 69 at Amata Spring Country Club in Chonburi.
