Sri Lanka Amateur Golf Championship runner-up Sisira Kumara maintained a slender one-stroke lead after three rounds of the Pin Fernando Grand Prix 2017 June edition played at the Royal Colombo Golf Club.

Youngster Chalitha Pushpika continued his consistent run with another Even Par 71, to get within one stroke of overnight leader Sisira Kumara, who is still two under par total after 54 holes. Amarapadma kept himself in contention three strokes behind the leader on a total one over par after three rounds. Another veteran J.M.D. Indika, D.M.P.P. Bandara of the Navy, Chanaka Perera and overall Pin Fernando Grand Prix Leader Sanjeewa are well adrift of the leading trio at this stage. The June edition of the Pin Fernando Grand Prix, sponsored by CAT SOLAR, is closely fought for with each player striving to keep their places in the standings.

The final round is set to be exciting with the top three places separated by just three strokes. An extremely tight finish going down to the wire is expected at the Ridgeways Golf Course in Colombo.
