Siddikur falters
Bangladesh's top golfer Siddikur Rahman had a forgettable start to the ISPS Handa World Super 6, ending the first round in joint 128th position at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club in Perth, Australia yesterday.
The tournament replaces the Perth International on the European Tour and is trialling a new format, through which 156 players will be cut down to the top 65 after the first two rounds. After the third round on Saturday, the top 24 will go through a knock-out round on Sunday with the top eight being seeded and the bottom 16 being brought down to eight after a one-on-one six-hole round. The bottom eight will then meet the seeded eight in a similar round, which will be followed by quarterfinals, semifinals and a final to decide the winner.
Siddikur, however, is unlikely to make it through to the weekend as his three-over-par 75 has already placed him in the wrong end of the table, nine shots behind leaders Brett Rumford of Australia and Mark Foster of England(six-under-par), and four behind the group currently in 65th spot (one-under-par).
Siddikur traded five bogeys for two birdies through the 18 holes of golf yesterday.
