Siddikur fires four-under

Ace golfer Siddikur Rahman moved up to joint 17th position after firing four-under-par (68) in the second round of the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship yesterday. The 30-year-old golfer, who started the day at joint 39th position, carded six birdies against two bogeys at the Linkou International Golf and Country Club for a four-under-par (140) at the end of second round, which was delayed by a day due to persistent rain on Friday.

Siddikur was seven shots off the new leader, Miguel Tabuena of Philippines, who fired seven-under-par (65) for 11-under-par (133). Today will stage the final round of the 500,000-dollar event, which has been reduced to a 54-hole affair.
