Thailand’s Chonlatit Chuenboonngam, winner of last week’s Gunung Geulis Invitational and the current leader of the Asian Development Tour Order of Merit, continued to show he is the in-form player on Tour at the moment after shooting a five-under-par 67 today to take a share of the second-round lead at the US$110,000 BNI Ciputra Golfpreneur Tournament.

Lloyd Jefferson Go from the Philippines and Malaysian Paul San carded rounds of 65 and 66 respectively to join him out in front on 12 under at Damai Indah Golf, BSD Course.

American Sam Gillis (66) is one shot further back, while Australia’s Cory Crawford (65), Indian Kshitij Naveed Kaul (66), Singapore’s Koh Dengshan (69), Suttijet Kooratanapisan from Thailand (69), and first-round leader Clyde Mondilla from the Philippines (71) are two strokes further adrift.

Chonlatit, who triumphed by seven shots last week, carded six birdies and dropped just one shot to put himself in perfect position to bid for back-to-back wins at the weekend.

He has worked his way to the top of the Merit list helped by finishing second in the Blue Canyon Open in May, and third in the Indo Masters Invitational the following month.

Go’s brilliant 65, joint lowest of the day with Crawford, was highlighted by an eagle at the par-five 18^th as well as six birdies and only one bogey.

Crawford’s 65 was more of a rollercoaster round which saw him make an amazing 10 birdies, including five on the trot from hole 10 but three bogeys on the front nine spoilt what could have been an incredibly low 18.

Mondilla, a 12-time winner on the domestic circuit in the Philippines looking for his first victory overseas, led after the first day with a 64 but was unable to maintain that momentum today shooting three birdies and two bogeys.

This week’s event is the 10^th tournament of the season on the Asian Development Tour.

China’s Chen Guxin, second on the Merit list, added a 69 to his opening 67 and is in a tie for 10^th with four other players, just off the lead.
