/ 02:02 AM June 18, 2017

Juvic Pagunsan birdied three of the last four holes to card a 3-under 68 Saturday and climb to joint second in the Queen Sirikit Cup in Thailand.

Even par up to the 14th, the Filipino ace birdied the 15th and then closed out birdie-birdie to catch up with halfway mark leader Thawom Wiratchant, who settled for a 70, and stay one shot behind new pacesetter Nicholas Fung of Malaysia.

Playing steadily, Fung also tallied 68 for an 11-under 202 total in the $500,000 event being held at Suntiburi Samui Country Club.
