Shanghai, Nov 7 (PTI) Jyoti Randhawa shunned aggression for caution and carded a second successive two-under 70 for a share of the sixth spot after the penultimate round of the WGC-HSBC Champions golf tournament here today. Randhawa, with a total of eight-under 208, will enter the final round six shots behind leader Phil Mickelson (67), who is chasing his fourth title of the year.

Randhawa acknowledged that he would need a special effort tomorrow to upstage Mickelson and world number one Tiger Woods (70), who is tied for the second spot at 12-under. "It''s not easy out there.

Guys are trying to get aggressive and they make a few bogeys and suddenly you''re out of the tournament," he said. "So I just played consistent golf, stuck to what I needed to do and made some putts," conceded the 2002 Asian Tour number one.

After opening with a couple of pars, the Delhi-pro stumbled to a bogey on the third hole before hitting back-to-back birdies on the fourth and fifth. But a dropped shot on the sixth brought him back to square one before a birdie on the ninth hole helped him make the turn one-under.
