Following him is Thai Tirawat Kaewsiribandit at nine-under-par (207) on third spot. Pakistan’s Muhammad Munir was able to score par (72) to end up with six-under-par (210) and is on the sixth spot.
Paksitan’s number one golfer Muhammad Shabbir who recently won the CNS Open Golf last week was not able to impress the local crowd present at the course. He scored one-under-par (71) on the third day and is on number 13 with an aggregate of four-under-par (212) along with Matloob Ahmed (212).

Shabbir said that he has not been able to keep the focus on the third day. “My aim was to score at least six-under to catch up with the Thai golfers. But I started off bad and that start reflected on the other holes. This was the worse day off the three day of championship. I have to get up on the last day and claim one of the top positions.”
Shabbir who is on four-under will have to strike the last round with at least 10-under to finish in top positions, while Munir who is on six-under has more chances if he score some eagles and birdies and avoid bogeys on the last day.
The last day will be followed by a closing and prize distribution ceremony, before the international players leave for their respective countries.
