LONDON : Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat maintained his lead at the BMW PGA Championship with another impressive round at Wentworth as the battle for last-ditch automatic qualification for the European Ryder Cup team intensified on Friday.

Ryder Cup stalwart Rose need to win the event to claim one of the remaining automatic spots, although his impressive form makes it likely he would be one of Harrington's three wildcards picks for the match at Whistling Straights this month. Austrian Bernd Wiesberger, who needs a top-50 finish at Wentworth to guarantee a Ryder Cup debut, did his chances no harm at all with a five-under 67 to move into the top 20.

While Westwood should now make the team for the 11th time in his career, he said the Ryder Cup qualification process was flawed."There's so many variables, as well, with the way we've set up the qualification this time around," he said.
