PETALING JAYA: Thai veteran Prayad Marksaeng is ready to deliver the knockout punch to his closest rivals after he returned a four-under 67 in the third round of the Panasonic Open Japan.

Despite trailing South Korean leader Hwang Jung-gon by one shot with his three-day total of nine-under 204, the 51-year-old knows he can overcome his one-shot disadvantage with his aggressive style of play.
