Rahil Gangjee continued to be the top Indian at the Queen's Cup at tied 26th after shooting one-under 70 in the third round here today.

As for the other Indians, Himmat Rai (71-70-70) was Tied-32nd, while Chiragh Kumar (73-73-67) was Tied 38th, SSP Chawrasia (73-70-70) was Tied-46th and S Chikkrangappa (70-71-74) was two-over 215 in Tied-57th.

The day's best card among the Indians came from Chiragh, whose 67 included four birdies and no bogeys.

Thailand's Prom Meesawat shot a second successive six-under-par 65 to open up a two-shot lead from countryman Jazz Janewattananond and Australian Scott Hend after the third round of the Queen's Cup on Saturday.
 

The burly home star brilliantly snared seven birdies against a lone bogey at the Santiburi Samui Country Club to lead the USD 300,000 Asian Tour tournament on 13-under-par 200.

Big-hitting Hend fired a blemish-free 64 to charge into contention for a ninth Asian Tour title while Jazz returned a 66 to earn his shot at a maiden title on Sunday.

In-form Korean Jeunghun Wang, who won back-to-back tournaments in Morocco and Mauritius last month, produced a career low 62 with two eagles and seven birdies to trail by three alongside American Paul Peterson, who returned a 68.
