I finally broke nine-under after almost two years, so that\u2019s a big personal achievement for me as it was something I had been aiming to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe game is trending in a good way, I feel comfortable while standing on the ball and am quite confident with the putter. I worked a lot on my driver\u2019s club-fitting with my coach Gurbaaz Mann during the off-season. That seems to be paying off as my driving form has also been top-notch. I would now love to sign off on a high after three weeks on the PGTI before heading to the Asian Tour next week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Udayan Mane\u2019s third round of 62 was highlighted by a 16-feet eagle conversion on the 12th along with seven other birdies.
