Shamim�s three-day total of 12-under-204 placed him in the joint lead along with Kolkata�s Shankar Das who shot a two-under-70 here at the Digboi Golf Links.
Rookie Karan Taunk of Jamshedpur was two shots off the lead in third place. Shamim Khan (69-69-66), a winner of nine titles including seven on the PGTI, moved up from overnight tied fifth to joint first thanks to his superb third round effort of 66 which was incidentally the day's best score.
