Rory Hie birdied his final two holes at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club to sign off with a final round 69 to place him in a tie for 9th at the Asian Tours US$750,000 Indonesian Masters. It was a nice way to finish yet another major tournament in front of his home crowd after securing outright 2nd place in the Indonesian PGA Championship a few weeks back.
The adjustments we made to Rory's posture and backswing early in the week really paid dividends, as his ball-striking was most impressive throughout the tournament. If not for a poor putting round on Day 2, Rory would have been a serious contender over the weekend. Rounds of 68,74,69,69 gave him a four round total of 8-under par. Speaking with the Asian Tour media, Rory had this to say...."It was probably one of the best weeks that I hit the ball. I only missed one fairway and hit my tee shots really solid. I just couldn’t capitalize on the birdie putts again. It was a good finish for me. I managed to put in three good rounds for me".
Scott Barr had another good week on Tour, finishing in a tie for 20th on 5-under. All aspects of Scott's game are in very good shape and it's only a matter of time before he seriously challenges for a Tour victory.
With several players in the mix heading to the weekend, it was World No.2 Lee Westwood who eventually romped home to a 3-stroke victory over Thongchai Jaidee.
