Chiragh Kumar continued to battle flu and yet challenge for top honours as he added a three-under 69 to move into shared second place at the halfway stage of the $500,000 Yeangder Tournament Players Championship (TPC) here on Friday.

Starting on the tenth, he managed four birdies against one bogey on the eighth. Chiragh at seven-under 137 is two shots behind leader Thaworn Wiratchant (67).

Bhullar succeeded in bringing himself back into the picture with a 69 that somewhat made up for his first round 73 and at 142, he is tied ninth.
