Siddikur ends on third
Bangladesh's premier golfer Siddikur Rahman claimed his second top-ten finish of the Asian Tour season after ending the Queen's Cup in joint third position yesterday. The 30-year-old golfer returned a card of three-under (68) in the final round for an aggregate of 10-under (274) to end four shots behind eventual champion Prayad Marksaeng of Thailand.
The two-time Asian Tour winner traded four birdies for a single bogey. This was the second time, after a seventh-place finish in the Hero Indian Open, that Siddikur managed to finish inside top ten this season.
"I will head home to prepare for the Omega European Masters next month. My coach will be going there with me for the first time. Hopefully it will be a good outing in Switzerland," Siddikur hoped.
The fine effort earned Siddikur a paycheque of 16,950 dollars, lifting him up to 24th position in the AT Order of Merit and is likely to bring him back into eligibility list for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
