SCOTT JAMIESON
FAILS TO WIN
ASIA TOUR CARD

Glasgow's Scott Jamieson finished the Asian Tour Qualifying School on a very low note with a round of 77 for a total of 291. That gave him officially joint 73rd status in the field of 103 at the Pattana Golf & Sports Resort, Pattaya in Thailand.
Unfortunately for the rookie Scots professional, only the top 44 and ties with 72-hole totals of 286 or better earned playing privileges on next year's Asian Tour.
Jamieson, who had come through the First Stage eliminator with flying colours, started the Final Qualifying tournament with a 66 but his last three rounds of 75, 73 and 77 did not do the talented Scot justice at all.
Far East-based Scot Simon Dunn also slipped out of the qualifying bracket with a last round of 75 for 287.
But one Scots exile did make it - Ross Bain with a closing 71 for joint 10th place on 281.
Bain was born in Scotland but went with his family to Dubai when he was only four years old. His father set up architectural firm in Dubai.
Malaysian teenager Ben Leong fired a one-under-par 70 for a three-stroke triumph with a 12-under-par total of 273.
Swiss player Martin Rominger and Australian Scott Hend tied for second place on 276.
