Presnell continues turnaround


Alistair Presnell appears to have turned around his horror start to 2015 posting his second consecutive top-20 finish after missing seven straight cuts to start the year.

Alistair Presnell appears to have turned around his horror start to 2015 posting his second consecutive top-20 finish after missing seven straight cuts to start the year.

"AlistairThe Victorian moved 24 places up the leaderboard
at the Rex Hospital Open on Sunday thanks to a final round 5-under-par-67, his
third sub-70 round of the week and just his sixth of the season.

It’s been Presnell’s worst start to a
Web.com Tour season since he first joined the Tour in 2009 but his last two
starts have seen a vast improvement.

After a T14 finish in the BMW Charity
Pro-am two weeks ago Presnell will be heartened to have backed up with another
good week and now take some confidence into the rest of the year.

Not so pleased with his final round will be
Steve Allan who teed off Sunday inside the top-20 but couldn’t get anything
going.

A bogey at the first was a bad start
compounded by a triple at the par-4 6th, four birdies on the front
nine couldn’t steady the ship, Allan was slipping down the leaderboard fast.

But despite his best efforts he couldn’t
turn things around on the back nine, three more dropped shots against a lone
birdie adding up to a 73 and T45 result.

Six of the 13 strong Australian contingent
made the cut, Aron Price the best after Presnell at T26.

Steve Allan (T45), Oliver Goss (T55), Adam
Crawford (T64), and Bronson La’Cassie (T71) were the others to make the
weekend, Bryden Macpherson, Mathew Goggin, Nick Flanagan, James Nitties, Brett
Drewitt, Ash Hall and Rhein Gibson those missing out.

Four Australians remain inside the top-25
on the Web.com Tour money list, winners Rod Pampling and Mathew Goggin joined
by Steve Allan and Rhein Gibson.
