Siddikur misses cut again
Bangladesh's premier golfer Siddikur Rahman missed the cut again after a disastrous second round in the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters yesterday. The 30-year-old golfer struggled to cope with gusty conditions at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club throughout the day as did most of the other golfers.
The two-time Asian Tour winner, who started the day at two-over (74), finished the second round with a nine-over (81) – thanks to seven bogeys and a double bogey -- for an aggregate of 11-over (155). That effort put him in 101st position while 68 golfers made it to the weekend rounds, with the cut made at seven-over.
Uhno Park of Australia grabbed the lead after a one-over (73) in the second round for an aggregate of four-under (140).
This was Siddikur's third failure in four Asian Tour events this season. The Bangladeshi golfer had earlier missed cut in the Maybank Malaysian Open and True Thailand Classic before finishing seventh in the Hero Indian Open in February.
Siddikur is likely to play in the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open at the start of next month before returning home where the Bashundhara Bangladesh Open, the first ever Asian Tour event in Bangladesh, will be held from May 27 to 30.
