Pilkadaris leads charge

Terry Pilkadaris has shot a superb five-under par to charge up into equal seventh on the leaderboard following the third round of the Clariden Leu Singapore Masters. Following rounds of three-under and par over the first two days of the event, Pilkadaris came out firing on the third with the 2005 Brunei Open winner shooting 67 on the par 72 hole to climb up the leaderboard with a score of eight-under par for the three rounds so far. With Wen-Chong Liang and Gary Lockerbie just four strokes ahead, Pilkadaris certainly has the chance to catch up with the tournament&aposs leaders over the final round, with other Aussies, Scott Barr and Peter O&aposMalley, still in with a chance on six-under. For first round leader Marcus Fraser, the round was no so kind, with the Australian slipping to five-under following a two-over third round and a one-over score in the second, with Scott Strange and Matthew Zions a further shot behind.
