Asian Tour Qualifying School Stage 1 in Thailand

JAMIESON LOOKING GOOD BUT
GRIM FOR OTHER SCOTS

Things are looking bleak for all the Scots bar Scott Jamieson after three rounds of the Asian Tour Qualifying School Stage 1 events in Thailand.
Jamieson improved a share of fifth place on two-under-par 214 at the Plutaluang venue with a third-round 71. The top 13 and ties from this venue after one more round will go forward to the forthcoming Final Q School.
But at Emerald Golf Club, where 13 and ties is again the “magic” figure, John McKenzie, Mark Loftus, Graham Gordon and Euan McIntosh are lying well outside that mark.
McKenzie had good score of 69 in the third round for 222, which puts him in joint 31st place.
Loftus is now joint 38th after a 75 for 225. Gordon is sharing 47th place after a 78 for 227 and McIntosh had an 81 for 237 to be in 71st place.
Mark Kerr from Ediburgh, is lying joint 49th on 227 at the Plutaluang where Scott Jamieson is doing well.
