EUROPEAN INDIVIDUAL AMATEUR CHSHIP

SCOTS' LACKLUSTRE SHOWING IN ITALY:
FIVE FAIL TO BEAT THIRD-ROUND CUT

Scotland’s representatives have done poorly in the first 54 holes of the four-round European men’s amateur individual golf championship at Biella Golf Club, near Turin, Italy.
While an Irishman, Rory McIlroy, leads at 13-under-par 206, and England have a cluster of players in the front rank, the best placed Scots are Scott Henry (Cardross) and Paul O’Hara (Colville Park) in joint 43rd place on 219.
Henry has scored 75, 75 and 69; O’Hara 73, 74 and 72.
The only other Scot to beat the third-round cut on three-over-par 222 was Scott Jamieson (Cathkin Braes) with 74, 74 and 73.
The Scots who did not play well enough to get into the fourth and final round were John Gallagher (Swanston) on 224 (71-75-78), George Murray (Earlsferry Thistle) on 226 (76-75-75), Glenn Campbell (Blairgowrie) on 229 (76-79-74), Jordan Findlay (Fraserburgh) on 232 (77-77-78) and Keir McNicoll (Carnoustie) on 239 (86-78-75).
