EASTERN promise faded for York-born golf star Simon Dyson on the second day of the Indonesian Masters in Jakarta.
After a promising opening day when he shot a three-under-par 69 to be poised just outside the leading ten in the Asian Tour-sanctioned tournament, Dyson underwent a Friday dip.
The Malton & Norton Golf Club ace found the Royale Jakarta Golf Club circuit more testing second time around to finish with a two-over par 74.
Dyson’s opening round advantage started to evaporate quickly with dropped shots on seven and eight before retrieving a birdie on the ninth.
But the nemesis for Dyson proved to be the par-four 14th hole where he shot a six.
A birdie on the next eased that disappointment slightly, but Dyson’s 74 left him nine adrift of half-way leader, Thailand’s Thonghai Jaidee, who followed a 69 with a 65.
