LEE HARPER MISSES OUT BY A SINGLE SHOT AT ASIAN Q SCHOOL

FROM THE ASIAN TOUR WEBSITE

Hua Hin, Thailand: A total of 64 players qualified for next week's Asian Tour Qualifying School Final Stage presented by Sports Authority of Thailand following the completion of the First Stage on Saturday.

But they do not include former Scottish boys' match-play champion Lee Harper (pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency).

The Archerfield Links man from Musselburgh missed out by a single shot at Majestic Creek.

Bangladesh’s Shakhawat, Australia’s Matt Docking, Berry Henson of the United States and Japan's Kenichi Sawada took a giant step towards securing their full playing rights on the Asian Tour this season after finishing atop the leaderboard over three different venues.

Shakhawat posted an even-par 72 to take top honours with Docking who returned with a 68 for a four-day total of 12-under-par 276 at the Majestic Creek Golf Resort while Henson added a final 70 to his previous scores of 73, 69 and 70 to emerge as the top finisher at the Imperial Lakeview Golf Club.
At the Springfield Royal Country Club, Kenichi posted scores of 67, 72, 68 and 72 to claim top spot and qualify for the all-important Final Stage which will take place next week.
Japan’s Tomoya Tokunaga carded a 69 to take a share of third place alongside Finland’s Kalle Samooja on matching 278s at the Majestic Creek Golf Resort while at the Imperial Lakeview, Japan’s Masanori Kobayashi and Jonathan Moore of the United States posted matching 283s to take equal second, one shot behind leader Henson.
Joshua Kelly of the United States returned with a final 283 total for second place while Australia's Tim Stewart took third place on 286 at the Springfield Royal Country Club.
The top 26 and ties from Imperial Lakeview made it through to the Final Stage while the top 24 from Majestic Creek Golf Resort and the top-11 and ties from the Springfield Royal Country Club also earned tickets to the final phase.
Players who compete in the Qualifying School will also be eligible for memberships on the Asian Development Tour, the region’s secondary circuit, where a minimum of five tournaments will be staged in the new season.
