Dhaka, Sep 22 (UNB) - Bangladesh golfer Siddikur Rahman shared joint 51st in the purse of approximate US$ 1,355,000 Asia-Pacific Open Golf Championship Diamond Cup after the third round at Musashi Country Club Sasai Course in Japan on Saturday.

Siddikur made a better cut with sharing 33rd spot on Friday, but slipped down on the day as carded one birdy against four bogies for a three-over-par 74 in the third round.

The two-time Asian Tour winner Siddikur aggregated three-over-par 216 [72-70-74] and stayed a 15-shot behind the Japanese leader Yuta Ikeda, who is one shot ahead of the South Korean player Yikeun Chang.

Yuta Ikeda has maintained the lead throughout three days while Siddikur shared his spot with four other golfers.
