Gusty conditions saw just four players break par at the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters on Friday, with Denmark's Thomas Bjorn losing his joint lead to Singapore-based Australian Unho Park. Park is chasing his first Asia Tour victory after shooting a one-over-par 73 on day two at the Royal Jakarta Golf Club, but faces stiff competition from seasoned players like two-time tournament winner Lee Westwood of England and Bjorn, who both shot 74.
Westwood, a former world number one, took outright seventh place while Bjorn slipped to third, a position he shares with three others in the $750,000 Asian Tour event. Bjorn, who is seeking his first win in Asia, boasts 21 professional victories world-wide including 15 on the European Tour but has ground to gain.
