Germany's Aline Krauter will carry a two-shot lead into the final round of the Hero Women's Indian Open after hitting her second successive 68.

Having opened with a 69, it means that she is the only player to have shot under par in all three rounds – sitting on eleven-under - at the tough-playing DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram.

Even with that, Krauter has Sara Kjellker to fend off with the Swede also posting 68, particularly impressive considering she double bogeyed the first hole. A run of five straight birdies from the seventh to the 11th was crucial, though.

FULL LEADERBOARD

Krauter only managed one birdie in that run of holes, but her card featured five in all with just one bogey to leave her in good shape chasing her first professional win.

Madelene Stavnar of Norway is a shot back of Kjellker on eight-under with Diksha Dagar best placed of the home contenders on six under.

Ireland's Olivia Mehaffey failed to make the cut after rounds of 82 and 73.
