JOHN Bickerton and David Park were both well up the leaderboard as the Qatar Masters went into its third day.

Droitwich golfer Bickerton shot a second round of 70 at Doha yesterday to move into joint 21st place on one under par.

Park, from Hereford, could not complete his second round yesterday but resumed this morning and stood equal 11th on three under par with five holes to play.

South Africa's James Kingston was three shots clear of the field on nine under.
