FROM THE ASIAN TOUR WEBSITE
Hua Hin, Thailand: Frenchman Jean Nicolas Billot got off to a flying start at the Asian Tour Qualifying School First Stage by shooting an opening seven-under-par 65 on Wednesday.
Billot, 32, who has won three professional titles, opened up a two-shot lead over Canadian Dion Sirianni and Japanese Masamichi Uehira at the Majestic Creek Golf Resort where the top-24 and ties at the end of four rounds will qualify for the all-important Asian Tour Qualifying School Final stage held from January 19 to 22.
Musselburgh's former Scottish boys' champion Lee Harper (Archerfield Links), pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency (a few years ago!), had a 73, also at Majestic Creek, and is lying joint 41st.
Clarke Lutton, originally from Aberdeen, had a 75 and Mar Hall Hotel, Erskine pro Graeme Stewart, a 77.
Another Scot, Stephen Clark, playing out of The Carrick at Loch Lomond, is competing at Imperial Lakeview, one of three venues in use this week. Stephen had a six-over 78 to be back in joint 87th position.
