JAMES BYRNE UNDER PRESSURE AT ASIAN
TOUR FINAL QUALIFYING SCHOOL
Northern Open champion James Byrne from Banchory will be under pressure
to make the halfway cut after scoring a four-over-par 71 at Springfield
Royal Country Club, Thailand in the first round of the Asian Tour Final
Qualifying School.
Byrne, was three over par after only two holes. He ran up a triple bogey
7 at the second. Birdies at the third, long fifth and eighth, offset by
bogeys at the short fourth and sixth got him to the turn in two-over-par 37.
The inward half saw no upturn in his fortunes with his only additional
birdie, at the 13th, being cancelled out by bogeys at the 10th, 15th and
short 17th.
Leading the field by three shots with a 63 is Nathan Holman (Australia).
There will be a cut to the top 80 and ties in a starting field of 238
after the second round.
Byrne is outside the top 100 at the moment.
