Perthshire man has lower last two-round total than Alps Tour winner

HUME MAKES TOP 20 BUT DOUBLE BOGEY


ROBS HIM OF PLACE IN TOP 10 IN ITALY

Murrayshall’s Steven Hume did not know whether to laugh or cry after finishing joint 18th in the Alps Tour’s Le Fonti Open in Italy today.
The Scot repeated his second-round 68 for a total of four-under-par 212, having started the tournament with a 76, and earned 697.50 Euros for a joint 18th place finish at Golf Club Le Fonti.

But Hume had a double bogey 6 at the 15th hole after earlier having an eagle 2 for the second day in a row on the outward half and birdieing the sixth, ninth, 10th, 14th and 18th.

The Perthshire man’s aggregate of eight-under-par 136 for the last 36 holes of the tournament was two shots fewer than that achieved by tournament winner, Frenchman Alan Bihan.
Had Hume, pictured, been able to par the 15th on his last round he would have finished in the top 10 and earned over 1,000 Euros.
Bihan won for the second time this year with scores of 65, 68 and 70 for 13-under-par 203. He had four shots to spare at the finish and collected the top prize of 6,525 Euros.
