Scott Barr put together another great performance on the Asian Tour, finishing the US$1.25million Iskandar Johor Open on 14-under and in a tie for 5th place behind eventual champion and 3-time major winner Padraig Harrington (pic below on range).
Barr posted earlier rounds at Horizon Hills of 67,70 and 71 before reeling off 7 birdies against just one bogey in the final round for a 6-under par 66. Scott was paired in the final round with the two young superstars of the Asian Tour, 19yr old Korean Noh Seung-yul and Thailand's 20yr old Kiradech Aphibarnrat. There was some incredibe golf played between the three of them as they ammassed a total of 20 birdies and 1 eagle for the day!! I was fortunate to be there to witness this impressive display of shot-making and putting.
Scott finished ahead of some world-class players including KJ Choi, Colin Montgomerie and Retief Goosen. Scott's statistics for the week in Johor were also quite impressive....
