Kuala Lumpur: No Indian could earn a ticket
to the prestigious British Open at the International Final
Qualifying (Asia) as all of them finished outside the top four
bracket here on Thursday.
Anirban Lahiri was highest-placed at tied 24th after
returning a two-under 70 that left him two-over overall.
A stroke adrift was Rahil Gangjee, who carded a
horrendous 77, to finish tied 30th.
Further down, it was another disastrous day for Gaganjeet
Bhullar who followed up his first-round of 73 with an even
worse 78 that left him seven-over and tied for the 40th spot.
C Muniyappa was no better as he carded a 75 for a 15-over
159 total and a share of he 53rd spot.
Himmat Rai didn't complete his round today and was tied
for the 55th spot in the end.
Noh Seung-yul completed a sensational run after
qualifying for the British Open with Malaysia's Danny Chia,
Japanese Hiroyuki Fujita and amateur Eric Chun of Korea.
Noh, winner of last week's Maybank Malaysian Open,
claimed one of the four tickets to the world's oldest Major
after closing with a four-under 68 in the tournament that was
won by Fujita, who signed off with a 66 for a two-day total of
11-under 133 at the Saujana Golf and Country Club.
