Siddikur's final flourish at Omega

Siddikur Rahman, Bangladesh's vaunted golfer, closed with a final round of four-under-par 67 to finish as the top Asian at the Omega European Masters despite bogeying the last hole on Sunday.
The 2010 Brunei Open winner adds another feather in the cap at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland yesterday where he finished in tied 18th place.
“It was a great day but it was disappointing to shoot a bogey on the last or I would have been higher on the leaderboard. Maybe I need more stamina but overall it was good,” said Siddikur, who finished on nine-under-par 275 in the tournament that was won by Thomas Bjorn of Denmark.
Siddikur, who started from the 10th tee, played in unfamiliar conditions on Sunday as rain and fog covered the Crans-sur-Sierre but it did not deter him from returning with six birdies against two bogeys.
“The weather was very uncertain. It was raining in the beginning then it was cold and then there was fog! We had to wait on the second last hole for the fog to clear,” he said.
Siddikur has yet to miss a single cut on the Asian Tour this season and will take pride with his strong performance in the 2 million pound (approximately 2.6 million dollars) showpiece co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour.
“I'm playing with a lot of confidence and this result will set me up perfectly in the second half of the year,” said Siddikur, currently second on the Asian Order of Merit.
