Bhullar shot a two-under 69 and moved to four-under 209 and was six shots behind the leader Thaworn Wiratchant, who was 10-under but with four holes still to play in the third round.
Bhullar was tied sixth, but only one player ahead of him had finished the third round. When darkness forced an early suspension of play, 15 players were yet to finish their third round.
