\"golfPattaya, Thailand:<\/strong> Thailand’s Sattaya Supupramai battled against tough conditions to share the second round lead with Australia’s Terry Pilkadaris at the King’s Cup presented by PTT Group on Friday.<\/p>\n

Sattaya was disappointed not to have taken the outright lead after he returned with an even-par 70 while Pilkadaris stormed up the leaderboard with a 67 at the Phoenix Gold Golf and Country Club.<\/p>\n

Denmark’s Joachim B. Hansen had his hot putter to thank as he carded a 67 to trail the leaders by one shot in third place at the US$750,000 event.<\/p>\n

Chinese Taipei’s Lin Wen-tang enjoyed a welcome boost ahead of his debut at the Olympic Games when he signed for a 66 to share fourth place with South Africa’s Jaco Ahlers and Thailand’s Sutijet Kooratanapisan and Natipong Srithong.<\/p>\n

Having played in benign conditions on the opening day, Sattaya was greeted with more challenging conditions when he returned to the tee in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

The three-time Asian Development Tour (ADT) winner got off to a good start in his opening back-nine where he posted two birdies for an outward 33.<\/p>\n

However he lost his way in his inward-nine with three bogeys and one birdie before posting a two-day total of seven-under-par 133.<\/p>\n

“The conditions were very different as compared to yesterday. It was tough in the afternoon as it was windy and the greens were very firm and fast.<\/p>\n

“I tried my best already and the only thing I can do is to look forward, not back. I just want to take each round as they come and not get distracted,” said Sattaya.<\/p>\n

Pilkadaris, who is hoping to return to the winner’s circle for the first time since his victory in Brunei in 2005, enjoyed a flawless round which was highlighted by three birdies.<\/p>\n

“A win would meant a lot. I played well in India and didn’t finish it off. I played well in Mauritius as well and didn’t win again.<\/p>\n

“So I haven’t won for a while and it would be nice to get back in there,” said the Australian.<\/p>\n

Pilkadaris was rock solid with his iron play and made no mistakes on the demanding greens.<\/p>\n

“I just kept the ball in play all day and that was key to my bogey-free round today. I hit it well and didn’t miss much of the greens. Even if I did, it was an easy chip shot back. I’m feeling good.<\/p>\n

“I’ve done so much work with my coach on the wedges and short irons and I actually hit them really close to the pins. You don’t have to mark them and just have to tap it in which is always a good thing. That really took the pressure off me,” said Pilkadaris.<\/p>\n

Lin, who will be representing Chinese Taipei at the Olympics, enjoyed a welcome boost ahead of his participation at the world’s greatest sporting spectacle.<\/p>\n

After an opening 69, Lin resumed his charge with two birdies in his opening three holes on the back-nine 10.<\/p>\n

He bogeyed 14 but would mark his card with another two birdies on 15 and 17 despite the windy conditions.<\/p>\n

The Olympian went further ahead with birdies on holes three and eight before a bogey on the treacherous ninth hole pegged him back.<\/p>\n

“Holes nine and 16 are the toughest holes. You got to be very careful there and like I said, your first shot has to be very accurate to get you closer to the greens.<\/p>\n

“The conditions were tougher today as it was very windy. My putting was good but I had some trouble reading the greens. I do not want to put too much pressure on myself. I just want to enjoy my game and catch-up with my friends on Tour,” said Lin.<\/p>\n

Major winner Trevor Immelman of South Africa made his early exit from the King’s Cup after he carded a 73 to miss the cut by one shot.<\/p>\n

The cut was set at one-over par with a total of 80 players progressing into the weekend rounds.<\/p>\n
