He dropped a stroke on the 13th but came back with birdies on the 15th and 18th as he climbed from his overnight sixth position.
Atwal's 66 followed his consecutive 67s in the first two rounds and helped him rise from tied 14th. He made birdies on the fourth, eighth, ninth, 11th and 17th and a lone bogey on the 16th in the penultimate round.
The highest ranked Indian golfer in the world, Randhawa also carded an impressive 66, which helped him climb from tied 45th to tied 28th with a total of six-under 204.
Ghei (67) and Kapur (69) are tied 37th at five-under 205.
