NORTH OF SCOTLAND OPEN AMATEUR

UNKNOWN ARTHUR LEADS AT HALFWAY

IN DAVID BLAIR TROPHY AT N/DUNBAR

Dunbar’s Arthur Culverwell was the surprise halfway leader in the North of Scotland Open amateur stroke-play golf championship for the David Blair Trophy at Nairn Dunbar Golf Club today.

Arthur shot rounds of 70 and 69 for a three-under-par 36-hole tally of 139 – one shot ahead of Scottish amateur champion Kevin McAlpine (Alyth) who won the national title on his last trip to Nairn three weeks ago.

Kevin scored 71 and 69.

Scottish mid-amateur champion Allyn Dick from Shots had 72 and 69 to be in third place overnight on 141.

Defending champion Elliott Saltman from Craigielaw, winner of the title 12 months ago at Elgin, is four strokes off the pace with 36 holes to go. Ellioot has scorted 70 and 73 for 143, one shot ahead of his youngest brother Zack Saltman (75-69).

Only players with 36-hole totals of 153 or better qualified for Sunday's final two rounds.

The CSS for Saturday's rounds was 74 morning and afternoon.
