Chanachok still maintains lead after round 2 in rain hit Phuket Open

The first round leader was hitting nine under after six holes during the second round yesterday before play was suspended due to rain. His midway score was 15 under-par-125.

“I was hitting well but I wished that I could have putted better. The weather condition made it a bit tough for me especially yesterday because the greens were wet. But this morning the condition was better,” said the 23-year-old from Tak, winner of the second All Thailand Tour stop in Rayong two months ago.

“My game plan is to hit the fairways and read the lies better. I hope to shoot more scores to stay in contention,” added the big-hitting player.

Three stroke behind was Pattaraphol Khanthacha who finished his round since Friday with a 64 and a total 12 under-par-128.

Rain still plays havoc in Phuket on Saturday morning while the third round actions have yet to start.
