Bangkok, May 20
Gaganjeet Bhullar stayed in contention for his third title in just over six months, as he was only two shots behind overnight co-leader Thai Rattanon Wannasrichan (65) after the penultimate round of the USD 300,000 Thailand Open here today.
Bhullar, who shared the lead with the Thai after 36 holes, shot four-under, but Rattanon birdied his last two holes and surged ahead into outright lead. The 21-year-old Thai sank six birdies to move to 17-under 196 at the Thai Country Club. His countryman Panuphol Pittayarat carded a superb 64 to trail by one shot in second place. Bhullar is in third place on 198.
Indians had a fair day as Shiv Kapur (65) with his six-under card moved up to tied-9th at 11-under 202, while Jeev Milkha Singh (70) was tied-19th at nine-under.
Of the other Indians — Shankar Das (70) and Khalin Joshi (68) are tied-40th at 208. Shubhankar Sharma (71) and Himmat Rai (73) are tied-62nd and tied-67th, respectively, while Chiragh Kumar (75), S Chikkarangappa (74) and Arjun Prasad (77) are further behind. — PTI
