Sae-Ueng in lead at Malaysia golf meet

Sarawak, Oct 5: Thailand's Nirun Sae-Ueng stayed on course for his second Asian Development Tour (ADT) title after carding a five-under-par 67 to grab the halfway clubhouse lead at the weather-disrupted PGM MNRB Championship here on Thursday.

The 22-year-old Nirun, who held a one-shot lead heading into the round, fired six birdies against one bogey to move seven shots clear with his two-day total of 11-under-par 133 at the Damai Golf and Country Club.

Somsak Khaopratum of Thailand and Singapore's Johnson Poh shared the second place following respective rounds of 68 and 70 while Scotland's Jame Byrne, American James Bowen, local duo Kiishaan Tharmalingam and Leunkwang Kim stayed a further shot back in tied-fourth position on 141.

The second round was delayed for six and a half hours in the morning due to persistent rain. IANS
