Thailand: A happy-go-lucky Poom Saksansin of Thailand stayed one shot clear of a fast-charging Siddikur Rahman of Bangladesh after the third round of the Queen’s Cup in Thailand today.

The 21-year-old Thai rookie dropped his first shot of the week at Santiburi Samui Country Club en route to a three-under-par 68 to keep his lead for a third straight day at the US$300,000 Asian Tour event with a 12-under-par 201 aggregate.

EurAsia Cup star Siddikur fired a stunning 64 with seven birdies as he moved into contention for a third Asian Tour victory while two-time Order of Merit champion Thaworn Wiratchant (67) is equal third with countryman Donlaphatchai Niyomchon (71) and South Korea’s Baek Seuk-hun (71), five off the pace on 206.
