PGA CLUB SENIORS CHAMPIONSHIP

 

WEE JOHN WALKING TALL AT KINGS LYNN 

 

Wee John McTear is sharing the lead on one-under-par 143 with one round to go in the PGA Club seniors’ golf championship at King’s Lynn Golf Club, Norfolk.

The North Gailes Golf Centre staff pro had a little bit of everything in his three-under-par 69 in the second round, which was five shots better than his opening effort.

McTear had an eagle 3 at the 487yd par-5 13^th and birdies at the second, seventh, eighth and ninth. He also had a double-bogey 6 at the third and another shot shed to par at the sixth.

Up there with the Scot in pole position are Englishman Stewart Graham (70-73) and David Jagger (70-73).

Bill Lockie, also from the North Gailes golf Centre, is back in a share of 10^th place on 147 after running up a triple bogey 7 at the 11^th in a second-round 75.

St Andrews-based Jim Farmer is also on 147 with a 73 which included birdies at the first, second, 13^th and 1`7^th.

Kemnay club pro Ronnie McDonald is rueing double bogeys at the second and fourth in a first-round 77 because he reeled off a par-matching 72 in the second round, no bother at all. Ronnie birdied the fifth, eighth and 14^th and had boges at the 11^th and 12^th to be in 19^th place on 149.
