\"Queen'sSamui, Thailand: India’s Anirban Lahiri carded four-under 67 to jump <\/span>up to tied 8th spot in the THB 9.6 million (approximately US$312,000) Queen\u2019s Cup on Friday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Japan\u2019s Daisuke Kataoka is on a revenge hunt after he signed for a second round three-under-par 68 to continue his stranglehold on the lead.<\/p>\n

After suffering the disappointment of missing out on a grandstand finish in his last event in Jakarta, the 24-year-old is determined not to lose his grip on the lead again as he heads into the weekend round with a two-day total of nine-under-par 133 at the Santiburi Samui
Country Club.<\/p>\n

Thailand\u2019s Prayad Marksaeng kept the local hopes alive when he fired the day\u2019s lowest score of 64 to share second place with Bangladesh\u2019s Siddikur.<\/p>\n

Malaysia\u2019s Nicholas Fung also posted a 64 to take equal fourth place alongside Thailand\u2019s Arnond Vongvanij and Jazz Janewattananond on matching 136s. Kataoka never had the experience of leading a tournament until his <\/span>heroics in Jakarta saw him equal his best result on the Asian Tour <\/span>with a third place finish last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having put himself into another commanding position again, the Japanese is eager to make amends this week. \u201cI\u2019m looking for revenge! I couldn\u2019t handle the pressure back then but <\/span>I\u2019m feeling a lot better now. I feel that I\u2019m ready and I don\u2019t want <\/span>to lose out again,\u201d said Kataoka.
 <\/span><\/p>\n

Kataoka dropped his first shot of the week at the par-three 13th but battled back into contention quickly by making three consecutive birdies starting from the 16th hole. After turning in 33, the Japanese added another birdie on the eighth <\/span>hole to extend his advantage over the chasing pack to two.
 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI played well today except for the 16th where I misjudged my shot. Other than that, my tee shots were perfect and I managed to find the greens on many occasions,\u201d said Kataoka.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Prayad will be looking to claim his long awaited victory at Santiburi Samui Country Club having come close with three top-three
finishes since the Queen\u2019s Cup made its debut on the Asian Tour in
2009.<\/p>\n

After overcoming a six-shot deficit to briefly take the lead in the
morning, Prayad is hopeful of a win at the Queen\u2019s Cup, an event which
he regards as a very important one on the region\u2019s premier Tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Queen\u2019s Cup is a very special event as it means a lot to the Thai
people. We\u2019re playing for the Queen\u2019s honour and a win by a local will
mean a lot for the Thai people,\u201d said Prayad.<\/p>\n

The 47-year-old started his back-nine 10th by marking his card with
birdies on holes 11, 14, 16 and 18.
 <\/p>\n

The Thai continued his dominance with two birdies in three holes after the turn. He signed off well with another birdie on the par-four ninth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not commit too many mistakes today and I was driving the ball really well. Hopefully, it continues to stay this way till Sunday,\u201d said Prayad, whose best result at the Queen\u2019s Cup came in 2011 where he finished second.<\/p>\n

Having won the King\u2019s Cup in his rookie year, Arnond knows the Queen\u2019s Cup would be a nice addition in his trophy cabinet. However, he prefers not to put too much pressure on getting that win just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t really thought about it as it\u2019s still early days. I didn\u2019t really do too well last year, so this year I\u2019m just trying to get around the course and not make any silly mistakes,\u201d said Arnond, who finished in 70th place last year.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old took advantage of the benign weather conditions in the morning by mixing five birdies against one bogey to make his move.<\/p>\n

\u201cI drove the ball a lot better and gave myself lots of chances. The conditions were also easier as there were less wind,\u201d said Arnond.<\/p>\n

Fung will have to make last minute changes to his flight itinerary home after he surprised even himself with a 64.<\/p>\n

\u201cI initially booked an early afternoon flight back to Kuala Lumpur on Sunday but I think I\u2019ve to change to an evening one now. I\u2019ve always tee off in the early groups but today\u2019s score was totally unexpected,\u201d
said a beaming Fung.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played really well today. All my putts went in and I even managed to chip in from about 30 yards for eagle on the 16th,\u201d added the Malaysian, who marked his card with six birdies, one eagle and a bogey.<\/p>\n

Reigning Asian Tour Order of Merit champion Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand made the early exit after he carded a 75 to miss the weekend cut which was set at four-over-par.<\/p>\n

Sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Thailand PGA, the Queen\u2019s Cup is held in honour of Her Majesty, Queen Sirikit and is one of four tournaments in Thailand to feature on the Asian Tour, which is celebrating its milestone 10th season after establishing itself as a players\u2019 organisation in 2004.<\/p>\n

The weekend rounds of the Queen\u2019s Cup will be broadcast live on True Sport and will also feature on the Asian Tour Golf and Highlights show.<\/p>\n
