News from enjoymygolf -- Siddikur goes clear in Delhi

Siddikur of Bangladesh will tee off in Friday's final round of the SAIL Open with a two-stroke lead after firing a five-under-par 67 in Thursday's third round.

One of three men who led overnight, Siddikur, from Dhaka, has taken his total to a 14-under-par 202 at the challenging Delhi Golf Club and is displaying the kind of form that indicates that he'll be difficult to catch, let alone match. ( Titleist Scotty Cameron California Coronado Putter )

Behind him Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand closed with a 69 after a bogey on the last hole and shares second place with India's Ajeetesh Sandhu, who posted a 68 for a 204 total in this US$300,000 event co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and PGTI.

Manav Jaini of India made the biggest move of the day when he posted a 64 to tie with Japan's Akinori Tani on 205 in fourth place.

Siddikur, the first Bangladeshi to win on the Asian Tour, birdied the fifth hole before sinking an eagle three on the eighth hole from 12 feet. He went on to mix his card with four more birdies against two bogeys to stay in contention for a second Asian Tour win.

"It was a great day and I'm happy with how I finished. I've been hitting it really good this week and I need to maintain that on the last day if I want to win my second Titleist Scotty Cameron California Coronado Putter ," said the 25-year-old.

Since winning in the Brunei Open last season, Siddikur has been in fine form, finishing second at the 2010 Mercuries Taiwan Masters and fifth in the Hero Honda Indian Open, also held here at the Delhi Golf Club last year.

"I'm not surprised by my consistent play. I've been practicing a lot and it is paying off," said Siddikur who graduated from the Asian Development Tour earlier this year.

Kiradech might have tied Siddikur for the lead but dropped a costly shot on the last hole after hitting a wayward drive. The rising star from Thailand still believes he has a chance of winning his maiden Asian Tour title despite being two shots off the pace.

"Apart from a few bad holes, I felt I played good golf. I sank a lot of putts. I still have a chance of winning if I can improve on my Titleist Scotty Cameron California Coronado Putter play," said Kiradech.

Little known Sandhu, who is tied for second with Kiradech, is hoping to make amends this week after missing the halfway cut at the Asian Tour Qualifying School in Thailand earlier this year.

The 22-year-old enjoyed an outstanding Titleist Scotty Cameron California Coronado Putter as an amateur while training at the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in the United States from 2005 to 2007.
