PGA EUROPRO TOUR

GRAHAM GORDON JUST MAKES THE CUT

Aberdeen's former Scottish amateur champion Graham Gordon made the cut with nothing to spare after 36 holes of this week’s PGA EuroPro Tour event at Hollins Hall, West Yorkshire.
Graham, pictured right, had scores of 71 and 70 for one-under-par 141, the limit mark for those qualifying to contest the final round.
Gordon, who is sponsored by two North-east businessmen, made things tough for himselr by double-bogeying the 11th and then bogeying the 16th and 18th. Fortunately he birdied the 17th and that made all the difference in the final analysis.
Carnoustie's Eric Ramsay was not so fortunate. He missed the cut by one shot with scores of 72 and 70.
Welsh-based Scot Jack Doherty also finished on 142 with a pair of 71s.

Jack’s younger brother Paul, a former Scottish boys’ match-play champion, is one of five players sharing second place on 136. Paul has had rounds of 67 and 69 to be four shots behind the English favourite for the £10,000 prize, Matt Morris on 10-under-par 132 (66-66).
Jamie McLeary and Graham Rankin (Drumpellier) are sharing 12th place on four-under 138. McLeary scored 70-68 and Rankin 69-69.
Other Scottish qualifiers were Euan Little on 140 (70-70) and and Stephen Gray (68-73) on 141.
