ASIAN TOUR Q SCHOOL STAGE ONE
BROWN, HUME AND RHIND ADVANCE
TO FINAL STAGE IN MALAYSIA
Three Scots – Graeme Brown from Montrose, Glasgow’s Barry Hume and Lee Rhind (Uphall) – survived the Asian Tour Qualifying School Stage 1 in Malaysia on Saturday. They go forward to the Final School next week when the leading 40 will gain playing rights on the Asian Tour.
Murray Urquhart from Inverness, Neil Douglas, a former assistant pro at Nairn Dunbar Golf Club, and the Doherty brothers, Paul and Jack, both based in South Wales, failed to figure among the Stage 1 qualifiers from four venues at Johor Bahru.
The standard of play necessary was to make the grade was very good. The leading 14 and ties made it through at the Straits course with 10 under par 278 or better. The same number advanced from the Village and Allamanda courses with five under par (283) and seven under par (281) or better totals.
Only at the Cempaka venue where the top 18 and ties went forward was par golf (288) for the four rounds good enough to qualify.
Barry Hume, who won the Scottish amateur championship of 2001 at Downfield as a Haggs Castle GC, member, scored best of the three successful Scots. He had rounds of 66, 70, 73 and 71 for an eight-under-par total of 280 at Allamanda. That took him through in joint 12th place but only with one shot to spare.
Another former Scotland amateur team international, Graeme Brown qualified at the Village course with scores of 72, 69, 70 and 72 for five-under-283. That gave him a ticket to next week’s Final Stage with nothing to spare.
Murray Urquhart failed to make it at the Village despite being four under par for the last 36 holes. He missed out by three shots with scores of 74, 72, 70 and 70 for two-under 286.
Another Scot who missed out at the Village venue was former Nairn Dunbar assistant pro Neil Douglas who moved his base to Asia some years ago. He was well out of contention with sdor3s of 72, 82, 75 and 78 for 307.
Lee Rhind, winner of the Scottish boys’ open stroke-play title at Downfield in 1997 and a winner on the EuroPro Tour in England last year, qualified at Cempaka in joint 12th place. Lee shot 73, 72, 72 and 70 for one-under 287 at the venue where the top 18 and ties advanced with totals of 288 or better.
Paul Doherty, Scottish boys’ match-play champion at Dunbar in 2003, shot 71, 72, 70 and 68 for seven-under 281 – but still failed by three shots to survive at the Straits course, where the standard of scoring was the highest.
His older brother Jack, last year’s Australian open amateur champion, shot 73, 71, 72 and 71 for 288 at the same venue and still had 58 players ahead of him.
