ASIAN TOUR FINAL QUALIFYING SCHOOL

LAST-ROUND PRESSURE ON

SCOTT JAMIESON

Rookie tour professional Scott Jamieson from Glasgow has one round to improve at least 12 places in the final standings of the Asian Tour Final Qualifying School at Pattaya, Thailand tomorrow.

Jamieson, who sailed through the Stage 1 process, has just lost a little bit of his edge at the wrong time. He has scored 66, 75 and 73 for a 54-hole tally of 214 at the Pattana Sports and Golf Resort.

That puts him joint 52nd of the 103 players who survived the halfway cut. Only the top 40 and ties at the end of Saturday's fourth round will earn full playing rights on the Asian Tour.

Two other Scots, vastly more experienced as tournament pros and also of Asian conditions, Ross Bain and Simon Dunn, are doing better than Jamieson.

Bain is sharing 14th place on 210 after scores of 7, 73 and 67.

Dunn has shot 68, 73 and 71 for 212 and a share 0f 26th place.

Malaysia’s Ben Leong leads the field at 11-under-par 203 with scores of 70, 68 and 65.
