Siddikur Rahman’s tune-up to this week’s ISPS Handa World Cup of Golf ended early as the two-time Asian Tour winner missed the cut at the Talisker Masters in Melbourne. Siddikur, who just won his second tour title last week when he clinched a dramatic one-stroke victory at the Hero Indian Open, was looking forward to the Talisker Masters at the Melbourne Golf and Country Club, where the World Cup will be held from November 21-24.
But the start was not good enough as Siddikur managed only a four-over-par (75) first day, with four bogeys on the way and no birdies. The second day was much better as Siddikur carded three birdies, but along came three bogeys, which meant Siddikur finished the day on par (71), for an aggregate of four-over-par (146).
Siddikur was in joint 66th position among 120 players, and the cut was made at three-over-par (145), thereby Siddikur missing the cut by one stroke.
