The Pete Dye designed Khao Kheow was the test for the day and we teed off on C1 in sunny and humid conditions on a course that was in fairly good shape although some fairways were a bit sandy.  The round was a bit slow and it took us about 4 hours and 30 minutes to complete.

We had two flights today with the cut at handicap 19 and a full bag of pins to shoot for.

Maurice Roberts won the A Flight on a count back from Arne Max Pedersen after both excelled and recorded 40 points each.  Takeshi Hakozaki filled out the podium in third with 37 points.

Barry Ephlick topped the B Flight on count back from Peter Bygeball in second and Lotte Boskov third, all with 31 points.
