SOUTHAMPTON European Tour pro Richard Bland has endured a disappointing start to his 2009 campaign.

The Stoneham golfer is set to miss the cut in the Joburg Open, South Africa, after posting a total of two-over-par for his first two rounds.

Bland produced a level-par round this morning, but was two-over following yesterday's play.

He was in the clubhouse tied for 151st on finishing, out of a closely-packed field of over 200.
