TAIWAN OPEN FINISH
SCOT SIMON YATES RUNNER-UP
Thailand-based Scot Simon Yates finished runner-up to Lin Wen-tang from Taipei in the Taiwan Open at Sunrise Golf & Country Club today.
Closing rounds of 69 and 68 put Yates on the trail of Lin Wen-tang but his final total of 10-under-par 278 came up three strokes short of forcing a play-off.
Yasin Ali (England) finished joint sixth on 281.
Glasgow’s Barry Hume, after being in the top 10 at the halfway stage, faded away with weekend scores of 77 and 73 to finish joint 33r4d of two-over-par 290.
Dubai-based Scot Ross Bain finished joint 64th on 298
Yates birdied all the par-5s en route to a five-birdie final round as he posted his best finish this season, just months after a shoulder injury had threatened to wreck his season.
He said: "I played nicely today but I missed a lot of putts. But all in all, I was quite pleased with my week. It was good."
