LIPA CITY - Filipino Angelo Que Friday fired an impressive six-under par 66 to take the lead after the third round of the Mount Mount Malarayat Championship.

Thailand's Atthaphon Prathummanee also carded a 66 to lie one stroke behind Que while his compatriot Wisut Artjanawat, joint leader at the start of the day, shot a 70 and is three off the pace.

The Mount Malarayat Championship is the third leg of the season on the 10-event Tour and Que is hoping for victory after two runner-up finishes.

"It hasn't been too frustrating finishing second twice. I have been playing well and that is the main thing. In the first two events obviously a couple of guys have played a bit better. Only Tiger Woods can win every event he plays in," said Que, who leads on 13-under-par 203.

Atthaphon played a flawless bogey-free round that was highlighted by five birdies on the outward half.

"I made some adjustments to my posture and it has really helped my driving. It helped playing with Angelo as he is a good friend of mine and he's fun to play with," said Atthaphon.

Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat, 18, equaled the course record with a 65 and is five behind Que while defending champion Mars Pucay from the Philippines fell back with a disappointing 75. He began the day sharing the lead but is now eight adrift of the leader.
