BARRY HUME TRAILS BY NINE
IN VOLVO MASTERS OF ASIA

Glasgow's Barry Hume improved with a one-under-par 71 but, with the leaders scoring in the 60s, the Scot was not able to make significant headway up the leaderboard at the end of the second round of the Volvo Masters of Asia at Thai Country Club, Bangkok in Thailand.
Hume is sharing 38th place on 145.
Leading Scot is Glasgow exile Simon Yates in joint 27th place with 72 and 71 for 143.
Thai star Thongchai Jaidee holds the halfway lead after a 68 for 136.
Jeev Milkha Singh (India) who won the Volvo Masters on the European Tour celebrated his 35th birthday with a 66 to share third place. He is pictured right in the clubhouse with a cake which does not look as if it has enough candles!
