Michael Sim lets Nedlands Masters
title slip with final-round 73

Aberdeen-born Michael Sim let victory in the Nedlands Masters at Nedlands Golf Club, Perth, West Australia slip through his fingers with one-over-par 73 in today's second round of the 36-hole event.
Sim had led the field of 60-odd players with a five-under-par 67 but could not sustain that form under pressure in the final round.
He finished third on four-under-par 140 and collected $2,900.
Australian Stephen Dartnall won the title and the $7,200 top prize with scores of 68 and 67 for nine-under 135, four ahead of defending champion and compatriot Michael Long who scored 70 and 69 for 139 and a $4,360 pay-out.
Dartnall holed a wedge shot from 100 metres to finish with an eagle, having gone ahead of Sim with birdies at the 11th and 13th.
Long claimed second place with four birdies over the last six holes - the 13th, 15th, 16th and 17th.
Sim was brought up in Perth, West Australia after emigrating there with his parents in the early 1990s when he was seven years old.
