Chowrasia had four birdies on fourth, tenth, 12th and 18th and said, "I have been hitting well and also putting well. I need to be more consistent. On the first day I had lot of birdies, actually seven, but also gave three bogeys.
"On second day it was a rough outing but I was again firing well in third round. I have to be patient and I am sure I will get my game back," he added.
