American Nathan Han [main picture] put himself on the threshold of a second victory on the Asian Development Tour (ADT) this year after taking the third-round lead in the Ciputra Golfpreneur Tournament today.

After a stunning 11-under-par 61 yesterday he was able to back that up today with a 66 to move in front on 18-under.

He is one ahead of an imposing group of players: defending champion Matt Killen from England, his countryman Mason Finlay, and seasoned Asian Tour player Berry Henson from the United States.

Henson returned a joint best of the day 63, along with three other players, while Killen shot 69 and Mason 66 – here at Damai Indah Golf (BSD Course), south-west Jakarta.

Another formidable group of players are another shot back: Andi Xu (63) from China, winner of last week’s Indonesia Pro-Am, Malaysia’s Khavish Varadan (64), the current ADT Order of Merit leader, Canada’s Henry Lee (66), and leading Indonesian Kevin Akbar (66), the joint first-round leader.

It all points to a brilliant final day tomorrow, in the 12^th event of the season on the ADT.

Han, who won the Ever Glory ADT Open in Chinese-Taipei two months ago, birdied three of the last five holes to edge ahead.

He was paired in the final group with overnight leaders Killen and Thailand’s Tanapat Pichaikool, who returned a 71 and is three behind the leader.

Berry Henson.

Yesterday Han made at staggering nine birdies and an eagle, and he was bogey free. He didn’t quite match that today, but he impressively maintained the momentum, shooting seven birdies and one bogey.

“Definitely, it’s hard to play after an 11-under yesterday, I realised that,” said Han.

“I was playing with really good players today, in the last group, and I knew there were people in front of us who were coming after us, but I am glad I kept my composure and I am proud of the way I played today. Stuck to my game plan.”

He admitted to never being in the lead going into the final round on the ADT and plans to relish the moment.

“To win any event is very special, but it would be really special to win on ADT in the space of two months,” added the 25-year-old, who is currently in 13th place on the Merit list.

He competed in the Asian Tour Qualifying School for the first time at the end of last, for the 2026 season. Although he failed to make the 36-hole cut he has certainly shown his potential on the ADT this year.

By contrast Henson, aged 47, has been playing in the region since 2011. His journey here began on the ADT when he won the Clearwater Masters that year before he claimed Philippine Open on the Asian Tour two weeks later. Remarkably, both victories were wire-to-wire. They remain his two titles in the region, and so he will be pulling out all the stops to make it win number three tomorrow.

“We were just in cruise mode most of the day,” said Henson, who made nine birdies, two of which were chip ins, with six birdies coming on the front half.

“I hit 16 greens which is a big win for me. It gives me massive confidence, and I think that’s my lowest round in Asian Tour history. I think I had 64 before that.”

In 13 years playing on the Asian Tour he has only finished outside the top-50 on the Order of Meri three times, including last year.

“It’s been 2013 since I actually won last, not in Asia. Obviously, I thought about that today through the round. I am in contention now, it’s where I want to be. I have a chance tomorrow, it’s gonna happen sooner or later. I just gotta stick to my process, control what I can control. Whatever happens, happens, and we just gotta keep playing some good golf.”

For Killen, who won by four last year on 25 under, it was his ninth successive sub-70 round on this course. He is looking to become the first player to successfully defend the tournament.
