India's Shubhankar Sharma holed more birdies than either of the first two days, but also dropped four shots in an eventful third round to be placed tied 37th in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship here on Saturday.

Shubhankar posted his first-ever score in the 60s. After 71-70 on the first two days, he returned three-under 69 to get to six-under for the tournament.

"One shot improvement each day," said Shubhankar with a smile.

"There were a lot of birdies, which was good, but there were also some stupid bogeys including a three-putt on 14th. So, it was a mixed bag, but still overall okay.

"I am pretty content as three-under is a good score. At the start I did not find too many fairways, but found the rhythm on the back nine, but still I feel I left a few shots out there. Yet, it is possible to shoot a low number on this course as some players have shown."
