Bryan Chiew leads the field with a sharp 66, opening a four-stroke cushion heading into Day Three. He’s followed by Suhaimi Ibrahim at 70 and Mahendra Phagami at 71.

Behind them, a handful of names are jostling for position. Julian Kamaluddin posted a solid 73, while Mitchell Steel and Tony Hj Karim sit tied just behind with matching 74s. Irwan Hj Abd Hamid and Fauzi Hj Timbang follow closely with 75 and 76 respectively. Then it gets crowded: Bhakta Sherchen, Hj Mohd Suhaimi Hj Abd Karim, and Jimmy Chung Sze Kiat all carded 77, with Colonel Nor Azizi Abdullah rounding out the top 12 at 78.

It’s still early, and the top 12 are far from set. With three days still to play before the final cut, anyone with a steady hand and a hot putter still has a chance. The top dozen scorers at the end of Day Five will return on Sunday, 10 August, for one last round and a shot at the Green Jacket, the Challenge Trophy, and a place in tournament history.

But the stakes go beyond the scorecard. The Baiduri Masters is a fundraiser, a community effort, and a chance to give back. Every single dollar from golfer registrations goes directly to five local charities: the Child Development Centre (CDC), SMARTER Brunei, La Vida, Learning Ladders Society, and the Brunei Darussalam National Association of the Blind (BNAB). These organisations provide care, therapy, mobility, and support for individuals and families who need it most. Every swing counts, not just on the leaderboard, but in lives impacted.

There’s still time to get involved. The tournament continues today and picks up again next weekend. Players can sign up for a flat rate of BND120 for the Men’s, Ladies’, and Senior’s categories, and BND60 for the Junior category. A discounted rate of BND115 is available for online registrations via www.maribali.com.bn.

Alternatively, players may register in person by submitting the completed form and making full payment at the registration counter at PMGC. Registration forms are available online and on-site. To download the form or find out more, visit www.baiduri.com.
