Two-time Asian tour winner Bangladeshi golfer Siddikur Rahman missed the cut and was eliminated from the Omega European Masters tournament after the second round in Switzerland on Friday.
Siddik who made a dismal performance on the first round of the tournament on Thursday with five-over par 75 from 18 holes improved his performance on second round. But his performance of even-par 70 from 18 holes was not good enough to ascend him in the top 65 of the leaderboard, the cut point.
On the day, Siddik hit three birdies in the second, 13th and 15th hole but those efforts were nullified by his three bogeys in first, fourth and 10th hole.

Bangladesh’s premier golfer Siddikur Rahman will look to get his European dream in shape when he participates in the Omega European Masters which starts in the Swiss town of Crans Montana today. The 30-year-old golfer, who twice took part in this prestigious event but had the misfortune of missing the cut and withdrawing due to injuries in the last two editions, will tee off at 7:35am local time at the Crans-ur Sierre Golf Club.
Siddikur, who resurrected a flagging season with a third-place finish at the Queen’s Cup in Thailand in June, left the country for Switzerland on the Eid day, the 19th of July. After missing four cuts in five Asian Tour events, Siddikur had returned from Thailand and practiced with his coach for a few days at the Kurmitola Golf Club in Dhaka.
The two-time Asian Tour winner will be competing alongside a stellar field which includes defending champion David Lipsky of the United States, Sergio Garcia of Spain, Lee Westwood of England and India’s golfing sensation Anirban Lahiri.
The 2.7 million euro event is the only event hosted in Europe which is co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the European Tour.

Bangladesh golfer Siddikur Rahman capped a fine comeback in round four of the Panasonic India Open in New Delhi on Sunday to finish joint 10th in the leaderboard headed by Australia’s Wade Ormsby.
Siddik shot three-under par 69 on the final day of the US$300, 000 event to improve on his third day position of 14th after he hit four birdies against a single bogey to move up four places in the four-day long competition.
The ace Bangladeshi golfer struck four birdies in the 7th, 8th, 14th and 16th holes and were it not for a bogey in the 2nd hole Siddik would have ended higher in the standings.
His fellow countryman Shakhawat Sohel fared better on the day as he smacked no less than six birdies to
score four-under-par 68. Sohel concluded the tournament in joint 44th position.
33-year-old Australian Ormsby had a mixed day as he hit five birdies, a bogey and a double bogey to blast one-under-par 71 to end with an overall aggregate score of 279.
It was Ormsby’s first Asian tour win which confirmed his participation in the Asia-Pacific Panasonic Open in September along with Boonchu Ruangkit of Thailand and Singapore’s Lam Chih Bing, who finished second and third respectively.
