A stroke down further on 5-under was a group of eight players including England’s Matt Killen (71), South Korea’s Jusub Park (68), Somprad Rattanasuwan (67) and Jakkanat Inmee (71).

Overnight leader Naras Luangphethcharaporn went to joint 16th following his 75 while Pheesaphass Dungthipburakorn (72), who was last year’s ATGT’s school, shared 20th on 2-under.
