Simon Dyson has taken the lead in the Asian PGA Davidoff Tour Order of Merit after finishing runner-up in a tournament for the second time in a week.

The Malton and Norton professional followed up his second place in the Lexus International in Thailand with the same achievement in the Hero Honda Masters in New Delhi.

He finished two shots behind the winner, India's Arjun Atwal, who claimed the title with an 18-under-par 270.

Second place netted Dyson around £16,000 to lift him above Taiwan's Yeh Wei-tze in the money list.

Dyson, who played his last 42 holes without making a bogey, praised Atwal. "I have no bad feelings for finishing second. I think Arjun played great and I definitely lost to a better player."

Dyson began with a 20-foot birdie putt on the first and then dropped another monster putt on the fifth.

A birdie on the sixth put him at 14-under for the tournament, but his title charged stopped there.

"I am not complaining. I am happy that I am now leading the Order of Merit in my very first year on the Davidoff Tour," he said.
