Bowden overcame a triple-bogey at the 10th hole thanks to a mistake by his caddy. He finished with his second consecutive three-under 69 and is alone in second at minus-six.

 

Tom Johnson, Jarrod Lyle and Michael Sim are all five-under par, but have yet to complete their second rounds.

 

"I hit it fairly well," said Stadler, who won this year's Xerox Classic and Boise Open. "I only had to chip once and it's usually a pretty good score when that happens."

 

With his two victories, Stadler ranks seventh on the Nationwide Tour money list and is virtually assured a spot on the PGA Tour next year for finishing inside the top-20.

 

Bowden was cruising along with three birdies on his front nine. When he reached the par-four 10th, Bowden was in the same bunker as playing partner Steve LeBrun. After LeBrun hit his shot, Bowden's caddy raked the area where LeBrun hit which constituted a penalty as testing the area before he played the shot.

 

Two strokes was the penalty and Bowden fell all the way down to three-under par for the tournament. He tallied birdies at 12, 13 and 15 to move into second.

 

Chonburi, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Far from home, Nicole Castrale is nearing her first LPGA win. Castrale, a Southern California native, fired a four-under 68 on Saturday to take a two-shot lead over Hee-Won Han heading into the final round of the Honda LPGA Thailand.

 

"I can play well and possibly not win," she said about Sunday. "Hopefully that doesn't happen, but hopefully I play well and see what happens. That is all I can really do."

 

Castrale, 27, turned professional in 2001 but hasn't played much on the LPGA Tour. She won back-to-back tournaments on the Futures Tour in 2005 and finished fourth on the money list to earn her exempt status for this year's LPGA season.

 

"I pretty much have stuck to the same game plan [this year] and I felt like sooner or later things would come together," said Castrale. "Hopefully this is the week that it all comes together."
