Dongguan<\/strong>: Thailand\u2019s Prom Meesawat stayed in the hunt for a big payday at the star-studded WGC-HSBC Champions with a two-under-par 70 in the second round on Friday.
 
The 28-year-old Prom ended a thrilling day at Mission Hills Golf Club\u2019s Olazabal course in tied 12th place on seven-under-par 137 but rued a poor back nine which cost him a higher finish in the US$7 million event,  Asia\u2019s richest.
 
Countryman Thongchai Jaidee fired a 68 for tied 17th place alongside China\u2019s Wu Ashun while Thaworn Wiratchant, the current Asian Tour number one, shot a 70 for equal 31st  position.
 
Prom turned in 32 on his outward nine but ran into trouble coming in, dropping three bogeys before shooting his fifth birdie of the day at the seventh to end the day tied with four of Europe\u2019s Ryder Cup stars Martin Kaymer, who is the title holder, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Peter Hanson.
 
\u201cAfter my first nine holes, I was nine under for the tournament and I was thinking that I\u2019ll have three par fives coming up.  I was aiming for two birdies there and looking at four more birdies. So I\u2019m disappointed getting to two over there,\u201d said Prom, who is currently seventh on the Asian Tour\u2019s Order of Merit.
 
A three-putt bogey on one led to him on the bogey train. He dropped another easy shot on three after a poor chip and then failed to get up-and-down from the greenside trap on six. The Thai was particular upset with the bogey on the par five third hole.
 
\u201cI hit my second shot 20 yards past the hole and I thought I could still make birdie but left my third shot still short of the green and the fourth shot was six feet to the hole and I missed the par putt. I was really disappointed with that,\u201d said Prom, who will play the third round with Luke Donald and Bill Haas.
 
Although he trails runaway leader Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa, who shot a sparkling 63,  by nine shots, Prom is only four strokes back of joint-second placed Adam Scott of Australia and South Africa\u2019s Ernie Els.
 
\u201cLouis is playing amazing golf. My goal is to get a few under after every round, now I\u2019m three shots ahead of my goal. So I\u2019ll try to keep doing what I\u2019m doing. I\u2019m still not looking at the leaderboard, I\u2019ll just stick to my game plan and see what I can do. Just go out there and enjoy the round. If I can shoot under par, I\u2019ll be happy,\u201d said Prom.
 
Three-time Order of Merit champion Thongchai was satisfied with a 68 which put him on 138 but ran into some trouble on the fifth which cost him a double bogey.
 
\u201cI\u2019m playing good. Played solid \u2026 had eight birdies, one double and two bogeys. Four under is a good round. The greens were a bit softer and you can see the low scores,\u201d said the former paratrooper.
 
\u201cI had a bad condition on the fifth hole on the left side. I complained about that hole as the area is very wet but there is no casual (water). There is no grass, just a lot of sand. You have no shot there. It\u2019s a tight lie.
 
\u201cTwo more rounds and I\u2019ll try to get my best. The leaders are quite far away now. I\u2019ll just keep at it, hole by hole. If I can attack, I\u2019ll do it. My putts were not too good today, sometimes it was tough to read the lines.\u201d
 
Thaworn will enter the weekend rounds in equal 31st place alongside names such as world number five Justin Rose. \u201cIt was better today with a two under round but I didn\u2019t hit it good. Played safe and then I was two over after six holes. On seven, I made eagle from the bunker, about a 40 yard shot which was very nice,\u201d he said.
 
\u201cI\u2019ll try to stay under par tomorrow. I\u2019m not looking at the leaderboard. Just keep playing my own game.\u201d<\/p>\n
