Kuala Lumpur, May 8 -- India's Pukhraj Singh Gill stayed on the top of the leaderboard despite a mid-round wobble when he dropped three shots in a space of three holes at the ADT Players Championship presented by R&A. The Indian ace, who plays on the Indian Premier Golf League, carded 2-under 70 and moved to 13-under and held a one-shot lead over Filipino Sean Ramos (67), who is 12-under.

Thanawin Lee of Thailand (73) was third at 9-under. Of the other Indians, Khalin Joshi (71) was T-33, while young Kartik Singh, who played on the IGPL in 2025, slipped from inside Top-10 to T-56 with a disappointing round of 81.

Aman Raj, Aryan Roopa Anand and Varun Parikh, all of whom play on the IGPL missed the cut.
