Scott Barr

Shot 72-63 and tied for first at the Ibaraki, Japan, sectional, qualifying for his first U.S. Open.
Played on the Australasian Tour from 1995 to 1999 but quit playing after a water skiing accident saw him suffer a neck injury. Became a teaching professional in Singapore Island Country Club but got his big break in 2003 when he played in the Macau Open. Led after the second and third rounds but was caught by Scotland's Colin Montgomerie in the final round and then edged out in the play-off. Says his coach Gary Edwin has helped him improve as a player.
In 2004, achieved a career high when he qualified for the British Open after earning joint medalist honors at the International Final Qualifying in Malaysia.
In 2005, Scott enjoyed his career season to date.

His 2006 was hit and miss. After enjoying his best season in Asia where he placed 11th on the Order of Merit in 2005, much was expected from the former teaching professional, however, he failed to find his best form early on before enjoying a T-9 finish at the GS Caltex Maekyung Open in Korea.

In 2007, he enjoyed another impressive season, registering six top-10s and three other top-20s to finish 21st on the Order of Merit.

Enjoyed a strong first half of the 2008 season with a tied 11th and joint 12th finish in successive weeks at the Johnnie Walker Classic in India and Maybank Malaysian Open. Later tied for sixth in the Hana Bank Vietnam Masters at the end of the season to finish 32nd on the Order of Merit.
