Solid Finish for Barr in Thailand


Scott Barr closed out his 2011 season on the Asian Tour by finishing in 18th place behind world no.2 Lee Westwood in the Thailand Golf Championship. Barr ended the week around the difficult Amata Spring Country Club on a total of 2-under par, collecting 17 birdies along the way.

Even after Barr's good performance in Thailand, he was unable to climb any higher on the Asia Tour Order Of Merit, finishing the year in 26th position and comfortably earning his full playing rights for 2012.

It was also a very good week for former Academy student Lam Zhi Qun (below) who made the cut on his professional debut. The young Singaporean was playing on a sponsors invitation and didn't disappoint, finishing in a commendable 27th place on 1-over par for the tournament. Lam groomed his skills for several years as a junior golfer under our Academy's training program with the Singapore Sports School, collecting many junior and amateur championship titles. Lam will head to the Asian Tour Qualifying School in January in a bid to earn his tour card for the 2012 season. We wish Lam all the very best for his professional career.
