THONGCHAI TAKES CHARGE IN RAIN-HIT MALAYSIA
Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, August 7: Thai star Thongchai Jaidee charged into the clubhouse lead at the Worldwide Selangor Masters on Thursday after breaking the day-old course record with a superb eight-under-par 63 in the second round.
The two-time Asian Tour number one was in irrepressible form at Seri Selangor Golf Club, rolling in one eagle, seven birdies and dropping one bogey for a two-day total of nine-under-par 133.
An afternoon downpour which started at 1.40pm forced officials to abandon play for the day at 4.15pm. Only 58 players completed their second rounds, with the rest of the field to resume their rounds at 7.50am on Friday. First round leader Chinnarat Phadungsil of Thailand, who shot a 64 on Wednesday, was amongst those affected by the adverse weather.
