There was agony for Kirkcaldy-born golf star Calum Hill on his latest DP World Tour stop, last week’s Genesis Championship in South Korea.

For the 29-year-old Fifer missed the halfway cut by a single stroke at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea in Incheon after opening rounds of 71 and 73 for a 144 total.

The result – Hill’s third missed cut in his last five starts – moved him down one place to 53rd spot in the latest Race to Dubai rankings.

Hill and fellow Fifer Connor Syme will next tee up competitively at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship from November 7 to 10.
