India's Gaganjeet Bhullar had two closing birdies to thank for giving him the second-round lead when play finally resumed at the weather-shortened Yeangder Tournament Players Championship in Taiwan yesterday. The 24-year-old Indian battled to a three-under-par 69 to take a slender advantage over 14-time Asian Tour winner Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand. Bhullar has compiled a two-day total of nine-under-par 135 at the Linkou International Golf and Country Club in Taipei. Thaworn took second place with a day-low 66 to pile the pressure on Bhullar, while Berry Henson and Jason Knutzon of the United States returned with a 68 and 71 respectively to share third. The third and final round will be played today. AFP
