Jamieson Pulls Off Brilliant Penultimate Hole Par-Save Last Day At Bahrain

Sometimes a great par save is just as good as any birdie as Scott Jamieson will attest after a brilliant bogey-free final round 65 in the Bapco Energies Bahrain Golf Championship.

Jamieson, 41, was seven-under for his round coming to the par-4 17th where there is water all the way down the right side of the hole at the host Royal Golf Club course.

However the Scot found the water some 306-yards off the tee and still facing 110-yards to the pin.

After taking a penalty drop, Jamieson landed his now third shot some 18-feet shy of the flagstick and then walked-up and rolled-in a superb par save.

Jamieson then headed down the 18th, found the green in regulation and two-putted for par in a overall 10-under tally and proudly walk-off as the early clubhouse leader.

The Florida-based Scot’s effort continues a run of low last day scores having posted a 67 last Sunday on the final day of the Ras Al Khamiah to share eighth while Jamieson shot a sizzling 64 last December to grab a tie for ninth at the Mauritius Open.

UPDATE…. 

England’s Laurie Canter birdied the first extra play-off off  to capture a second Tour title but only after Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal bogeyed the last in regulation play in a round of 70 for a 14-under tally.

The nine-time winning Larrazabal sadly then bogeyed the 72nd for a second time while Canter holed a three-footer winning birdie putt.

A second Englishman in Daniel Young was also in the play-off but he also bogeyed the first extra hole.

Jamieson eventually shared 18th place.
