Peter Uihlein's recent victory on The International Series has clearly had a profound impact on the American as he took control of the International Series Thailand yesterday -- opening up a three-shot lead at the par-70 Thai Country Club.
He fired a third-round three-under-par 67 for a three-round aggregate of 17-under 193, in the sixth stop on The International Series this year -- 10 Asian Tour sanctioned events that provide a pathway onto the LIV Golf League.
Sitting in second place are Pakistan's Ahmad Baig (63), a star on this year's Asian Development Tour (ADT), Rayhan Thomas (64) from India, Swede Charlie Lindh (65), Max Lee Chieh-po (67) from Taiwan and Australian Maverick Antcliff (69).
American John Catlin showed why he is the No.1 ranked player on both the Asian Tour and The International Series by shooting the lowest round of the week, a 61. He is another stroke back with Filipino Miguel Tabuena (65) and David Boriboonsub (67) from Thailand.
Uihlein's round didn't match his spectacular opening rounds of 64 and 62 but he was content with a performance that puts him in the driver's seat with one round to go.
"Overall, it was fine," said Uihlein, who led by one from Antcliff at the start of the day, "you know, it was a good enough day where I felt like it could've been really, really good. But, yeah, we'll see."
Baig has emerged as the surprise package after recording one of the finest rounds of his career, which, remarkably, started with three birdies in-a-row and ended in the same manner.
He has been enjoying a breakthrough year on the ADT with two victories and is currently in second place on that Merit list.
Today Baig, who has a reputation for firepower off the tee, will attempt to become only the second player from his country to win on the Asian Tour. Taimur Hussain was the first, winning the 1998 Myanmar Open.
