[Q1] (7) Ashutosh Singh (IND,540) bt Tommy Murphy (IRL,UNR) 26 64 61
[Q1] Purav Raja (IND,1006) l (1) Andis Juska (LAT,341) 26 16

[Q2] (7) Ashutosh Singh (IND,540) bt Jonathan Kinsella (GBR,1333) 67(7) 64 76(5)

[Q3] (7) Ashutosh Singh (IND,540) vs (2) Ivo Klec (SVK,360)

[R1] Prakash Amritraj (IND,350) vs (WC) Eoin Heavey (IRL,1513)
[R1] (PR) Harsh Mankad (IND,674) vs (PR) Jonathan Marray (GBR,1598)
[R1] Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK,158) vs (WC) Colin O'Brien (IRL,1459)

Ashutosh struggled against unknown players but importantly he is in the final qualifying round ... Kash, Harsh and Aisam having favourable draw ... But I m still not able to find answer for 'Why Bops decided to skip this challenger?', where he was double champion in 2007.

At Buick Open

Leading after third round, Dan started 4th round with 4 bogeys and then never recovered to produce challnge in the final round ... Disappointing end for Dan, he was in position of finishing top instead he finished on T17 with -13 ... But hopefully this poor last round doesn’t hamper his concentration as today at Michigan he is playing in a British Open qualifier.
