South Africans Darren Fichardt (68) and Daniel Von Tonder (70) were in the gathering tied for third with three others including Jazz Janewattananond at 14-under.
Bhullar said, "I hit the ball truly well today. I discovered 12 fairways out of the 14 and it was simply towards the end that I didn't hit such a large number of greens yet the beginning was quite strong.
"I give myself a ton of birdie openings out there. Indeed, even the greens I missed I made all over."
He added, "I rolled the ball quite well on the greens today. I hold a ton of good birdie putts, as on seventh, and few others on tenth and 12tth. That kept me made all the difference for me and inspiring for its remainder."
Bhullar moved to 6-under through 12 openings in the third round. That included six birdies somewhere in the range of 6th and twelfth openings. He missed a couple from there on and dropped an intruder on last to get to 10-under.
