Hero Indian Open - Day three digest

<p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Eugenio Chacarra was running it back, Dan Bradbury had chips with everything and Alex Fitzpatrick ignored the numbers on the card in round two of the 2026 Hero Indian Open.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><div class="brightcove-embed descAsset" data-brightcove-id="6391839429112" data-poster="https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/5136026580001/24b3e725-6a68-4662-a1d1-11e4f3221605/e1e29720-9125-4219-a5d0-3ef2f38ef557/1280x720/match/image.jpg" data-src="/5e86bc0d-659c-445c-ac49-36579e00f22a/content"></div><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Here is everything you need to know from Friday's play at DLF G&amp;CC.</span></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2">Chacarra on top of the world</h2><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Defending champion Eugenio Chacarra felt like one of the world's best as he added a 69 to his opening 67 to lead by one shot from Casey Jarvis. The Spaniard's winning score last year was four under par, with only three players breaking par for the week, and having surpassed that mark in Thursday's first round alone he has now doubled it to eight under. Chacarra said: "Like I said at the start of the week, I think the good vibes when I got here, the good memories came up and when I'm having fun playing golf, I already proved I'm one of the best players in the world."</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><div class="brightcove-embed descAsset" data-brightcove-id="6391826976112" data-poster="https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/5136026580001/9a2f30a9-466d-4b37-8c3e-8e362b7b063e/97d5ec90-96ac-439e-8616-80196a2a4488/1280x720/match/image.jpg" data-src="/3b857837-036c-4dcc-873f-752907fcd24e/content"></div><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2">Jarvis chasing hat-trick</h2><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Jarvis is the undoubted form player in the field, following up his first two DP World Tour wins at the Magical Kenya Open presented by absa and the Investec South African Open Championship with a tie for second at the Joburg Open. He was hot on playing partner Chacarra's heels in New Delhi after a 64 featuring nine birdies and a solitary bogey and said: "I think I'm just running on confidence at the moment. I can't count the feet of putts I made today, but I know it is a whole lot." Chacarra added: "Casey (showed) us all today how to score, how to play golf, and it was fun to watch."</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><div class="brightcove-embed descAsset" data-brightcove-id="6391827153112" data-poster="https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/5136026580001/e5bca8dc-8a2c-4cc6-b026-5bed264c1464/3d675ab2-891b-46d7-a022-e8ca9d8c27b5/1280x720/match/image.jpg" data-src="/de45b652-5ed1-4c52-b2f3-0650fa3aa128/content"></div><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2">Bradbury leaves the putter in the bag</h2><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dan Bradbury was three over par for his round with two holes still to play but began his day with this superb chip-in to birdie the first:</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><div class="brightcove-embed descAsset" data-brightcove-id="6391826351112" data-poster="https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/5136026580001/b138a9f2-61f3-4025-9ea3-f23f8c138d2d/a8689e8d-f17a-4971-be5d-a86accffc7cf/1280x720/match/image.jpg" data-src="/ce917c6e-918d-42b0-81f5-11b6166d1970/content"></div><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Remarkably, the Englishman repeated the feat at the third, albeit for par on this occasion.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><div class="brightcove-embed descAsset" data-brightcove-id="6391828956112" data-poster="https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/5136026580001/0c209919-a584-48e7-a09a-23751fe7cda1/41c856ae-b8d2-4e03-9f7f-198509c70bf9/1920x1080/match/image.jpg" data-src="/b1b576eb-ff2f-40c9-b231-0f6cdd729582/content"></div><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2">Fitzpatrick's eventful run</h2><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Alex Fitzpatrick and Jacob Skov Olesen, at five under par, were the best-placed of the 29 players still to complete round two. The stoppage came with both players having four holes to play and Fitzpatrick remarkably on a run of nine holes without a par. The Englishman finished his front nine with four straight birdies, bogeyed the tenth, poured in three more birdies in a row and then dropped another shot as darkness descended.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><h2 class="editor-heading-h2">Just call it a par five...</h2><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The 14th hole on Friday played almost a full stroke over par at an average of 4.88, the hardest a hole has played on a single day since the Hero Indian Open joined the DP World Tour schedule in 2015. Twenty players made double-bogey or worse, with 17 sixes, two sevens and an eight, while there were only four birdies - huge credit, then, to Bradbury, Oliver Lindell, Ugo Coussaud and India's Om Prakash Chouhan, the leading home player this week at level par.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph editor-paragraph"><br></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ugo Coussaud making the hardest hole this week look easy 😮‍💨<br><br>Hole 14 has currently got a Fortinet Threat Score of +0.92 📊<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FortinetThreatScore?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FortinetThreatScore</a> |  <a href="https://twitter.com/Fortinet?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Fortinet</a></p>&mdash; DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) <a href="https://twitter.com/DPWorldTour/status/2037513969867620714?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 27, 2026</a></blockquote>
