Siddikur off to a howler
Bangladesh's premier golfer Siddikur Rahman endured a horrible start at the Fiji International, which teed off at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course yesterday, as he failed to deal with the windy conditions and notched a five-over-par (77) to finish joint-108th after the first round.
The 32-year-old set the tone for the rest of the day on the first hole, where he hit a double-bogey. Immediately after, he returned a bogey on the second hole of the US 1.14 million dollar event.
Two birdies against four more bogeys meant that he found himself in a position with little hope of return.
New Zealand's Daniel Pearce, who had the opposite of Siddikur's start as he hit an eagle on his very first hole, was on top of the leaderboard with a six-under-par (66).
