He recovered with a birdie on 14 but two other bogeys in his closing four holes saw him settle for a share of tied-65th position on three-over-par 145 total at the Carnoustie Golf Links.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5349764787396476967m_-5943748198112393836font-calibri\">The 24-year-old Green became the second Malaysian, following Danny Chia in 2010, to make the halfway cut in the world\u2019s oldest Major championship. Chia came in tied-55th in what was his third attempt that year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5349764787396476967m_-5943748198112393836font-calibri\">\u201cI was really nervous coming down the stretch. The last few holes were tough. I was just trying to keep it on the fairways and the greens. I did that all the way till 18 and had like a 15 to 20 foot for par. I was trying to find out what the cut was. Thankfully it was three-over and I made the bogey putt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5349764787396476967m_-5943748198112393836font-calibri\">\u201cMaking the cut in my first Major, obviously I am really happy. I am happy with the way I coped with myself. I kind of know what to do and I knew I can\u2019t push it too much. It\u2019s been a long time since I last felt so nervous coming down the stretch but I liked the challenge,\u201d said Green.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5349764787396476967m_-5943748198112393836font-calibri\">Green sealed his place in the year\u2019s third Major by winning the Asian Tour Order of Merit crown last year, where he claimed one victory and five top-10 finishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5349764787396476967m_-5943748198112393836font-calibri\">He is the first Malaysian and the second youngest player, following a then 19-year-old Noh Seung-yul of Korea in 2010, to achieve the feat on the region\u2019s premier Tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5349764787396476967m_-5943748198112393836font-calibri\">\u201cMy first expectation is to make the cut but now I will try to go as low as possible over the weekend. It\u2019s pretty scorable&nbsp;if you\u2019re on the fairways but if you\u2019re not, it will punish you quite bad so it\u2019s very important to keep to the same game plan and hopefully make more putts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5349764787396476967m_-5943748198112393836font-calibri\">\u201cI like links course. It\u2019s a different style of play. I think it\u2019s fairer. You have to be creative when you play on links course. You can\u2019t just see the hole and hit it, you might land 40 or 50 yards short,\u201d added Green, who enjoyed a tied-19th place finish at the Scottish Open last week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5349764787396476967m_-5943748198112393836font-calibri\">Like Green, Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand also made the cut on the number after battling to a 71. The big-hitting Thai will head to the weekend rounds for the first time after missing the mark in his last four attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"m_5349764787396476967m_-5943748198112393836font-calibri\">South African Shaun Norris, young Indian talent Shubhankar Sharma, Japan\u2019s Yuta Ikeda and Masahiro Kawamura will continue to spearhead the Asian Tour challenge in the final two rounds at The 147th Open at Carnoustie.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Malaysia\u2019s Gavin Green endured a nervous finish but his challenge will continue into the weekend as he carded a two-over-par 73 to make the cut on the number in his Major debut at The Open&nbsp;on Friday.
