In round two, the South African fared much better on the par-5 18th that shocked him on day one, shooting a birdie to finish at 70.
The 38-year-old, although struggling a little bit on the greens, felt the course is in wonderful shape at this time of the year.
"Well, I am playing quite consistently but struggling a little bit on the greens, I am having a tough time reading the putts. I am not saying that they are bad, I am just struggling to read them right. But the course is in wonderful shape for this time of year which is your winter time and I think they have done a great job with that," said Els.
"It is a wonderful layout and if you miss any shot you are going to pay the penalty," added Els.
In the Indian field, local favourite Shiv Kapur's performance went from bad to worse, as he closed his third round on a disastrous 4-over 76. Kapur bogeyed seven holes in all, aggregating his total to 6-over on the leaderboard.
The 25-year-old put up a dismal show on day two as he carded a 6-over 78 to be tied 55th with eight others.
The other contenders in the Indian brigade, Arjun Atwal, Jyoti Randhawa, SSP Chowrasia and Digvijay Singh are currently playing their front nine.
Day's play for round two leader, Damien McGrane from Ireland, is in progress. And the Irishman is holding fort, staying atop the leaderboard with a majestic total of 8-under 136 after round two.
