Sharma, who turned 27 on Friday, while moving into the tied-fourth place at the 151st Open, was still in the vicinity at 4-under through 36 holes. He was tied ninth, the third successive day he was in the Top 10 of a major. Landing an eagle from 36 feet besides picking 14 pars in the first 15 holes, Sharma stayed patient and out of trouble and when he did get into it he came out well enough for pars.
