Dubai, February 2 Upwardly mobile Shiv Kapur leapfrogged to join Tiger Woods at tied fifth with a penultimate round of three-under 69 but there was no end to compatriot Jyoti Randhawa's woes as the Delhi golfer returned 75, his worst card of the week, at the Dubai Desert Classic here today. Jeev Milkha Singh, on the other hand, arrested the slide and carded 69 to put behind his nightmarish second round of 76 and finish tied 23rd.

An European Tour regular, Shiv Kapur did drop a shot on the eighth hole but did hardly anything wrong. The youngster birdied the fifth and 13th and in between fired his second eagle of the tournament at the par-five 10th hole to hang around for a top 10 finish.

At a three-day total of seven-under 209, Shiv had an elite company in Woods and Spaniard Sergio Garcia at tied fifth. Fellow Indian Jeev returned an identical card to take his 54-hole tally to four-under 212 for the tied 23rd place. Jeev parred the opening hole before reeling off a birdie hat-trick which was intercepted by a dropped shot on the fifth hole.

Jeev atoned for by picking up a shot on the sixth and took the turn at three-under. In his back nine, the bogey on 14th and the birdie on 17th cancelled out each other. Randhawa, however, had a disastrous outing with no end in sight for his plummeting form that saw him slump to tied 52nd at even-par 216. Randhawa has been on a free-fall since then and after a poor second round of 74, the lanky golfer went worse today. Randhawa birdied the second, third and 18th hole but nothing went right in between for India’s highest ranked golfer.
