Young, the 1982 Philippine Junior Champion tallied 2.5 points in three outings, the same output of GM Antonio, GM Cao Sang of Vietnam and his fourth round opponent countryman IM Rico Mascarinas.
"I hope I can sustain my momentum," said Young, who brought down Macau's De V R Joao Car Bartilotti in Round 1 last Wednesday.
GM Tu Hoang Thong of Vietnam defeated IM Dede Lioe of Indonesia to score his third consecutive win to stay on top.
In other Round 3 results, IM Mascarinas drew with GM Cao, NM Edmundo Gatus bested Daigo Kanda of Japan while IM Jose Efren Bagamasbad toppled Chee Chuen Steven Hoh of Malaysia.
Gatus and Bagamasbad notch 2.0 points each along with 7 other woodpushers.
