Ahlers made a double bogey on the first, but he held things together with four birdies and two bogeys to be in a share of 23rd. In the lead at 10-under was Korea’s Bio Kim, who was four shots clear of countrymen Minjun Kim, Mingyu Cho and Jiho Yang.
One shot behind Ahlers was Neil Schietekat, who shot a two-over-par 73 in the third round. He was on level-par for the tournament on a share of 28th.
