Scott Barr has finished in 3rd place at the SAIL-SBI Open in New Delhi after a final round 71 left him on 13-under for the tournament and just one stroke out of the playoff. Barr started the day 3 shots behind local Anirban Lahiri but after making it through the front nine in 3-under, Barr had himself a share of the lead heading into the back nine. After making pars all the way through the next 4 holes, a birdie on the par 5 14th hole put Barr one shot ahead with 4 to play. A dropped shot on 15 and an unfortunate triple bogey on the par 3 17th hole opened the door for Lahiri and Prom Meesawat. Barr fought back with a closing birdie on the 18th hole but it was not quite enough to get the job done, coming up one shot short of the playoff which was eventually won by Anirban Lahiri.
After the first 4 events of the 2012 Asian Tour season, Scott Barr is in 11th place on the Order Of Merit. Barr's average driving distance is 300yds (rank 5th) and he has made 59 birdies (rank 2nd). Next stop on the Asian Tour is The Open Championship International Qualifier to be played at Amata Springs Country Club in Bangkok Thailand.
