BARRY HUME SLIPS DOWN
PAKISTAN OPEN FIELD
TO SHARE OF 12th PLACE

Glasgow's Barry Hume, pictured right, dropped down to a share of 12th place after a one-over-par 73 in the third round of the Pakistan Open golf championship at Karachi Golf Club today.
Hume is on seven-under-par 209, having put together a pair of 68s in his first two rounds.
The former Scottish amateur champion and Haggs Castle GC member was vieing for the lead when he reached the turn in only 30 shots in his second round but that has been the high point of the tournament for Hume.
In the third round he birdied the second but covered the remaining 16 holes in two over par with bogeys at the 10th and 14th in halves of 35 and 38.
Barry, who will be 25 on January 30, is 10 shots behind leader Airil Rizman Zahari (Malaysia) who went three clear of the field with a superb third-round 64 for a 17-under-par tally of 199.
