 DEAN ROBERTSON HEADS SCOTS CHALLENGE

 

Dean Robertson maintained the leading Scottish challenge with a 71 for three-under-par 141 in the second round of the PGA EuroPro Tour’s Stoke by Nayland International Open at the Suffolk venue today.

Robertson is in joint eighth place, four shots behind leader Guy Woodman, going into the final round.

Dean birdied the second, fifth, eighth, 11th and 15^th but bogeyed the third, seventh, ninth and 14^th in halves of 36 and 35.

Colin Mitchell from Blairgowrie and Paul Doherty (Vale of Glamorgan) qualified safely on level par 144, Mitchell with a 70 and Doherty with a 71.

Colin was moving well up the leaderboard when he birdied the third, fifth, seventh and 15^th. Then he bogeyed the 17^th and 18^th.

Late finisher Ross Cameron from Ellon beat the cut with nothing to spare with a 72 for 145. A double bogey 7 at the 16^th put the pressure on him but he parred the last two to reach the safety mark.

Graeme Brown from Montrose had a nightmare round of 76 to miss the cut on 147. Graeme had double bogeys at the eighth, ninth and 13^th. A bag of five birdies gave him a respectable score.
