No pay cheque this week for Cormack and Barnard

BOYS FROM BANCHORY MISS
CUT IN FLORIDA
WINTER TOUR EVENT

Banchory players Paul Cormack and Mark Barnard both failed to make the cut after two rounds of the NGA Pro Tour Winter Series’ second tournament over the LPGA International Champions’ Course at Daytona Beach, Florida.
Paul, pictured right, playing out of Inchmarlo Golf Centre, missed out on the last-day action for the second event in a row with a second-round 80 after a promising first score of 70. A total of 150 put him in joint 71st position in a field of 132. Only the leading 45 and ties with scores of two-over 146 or better qualified for the final round.
Mark Barnard, who is attached to Slaley Hall Golf Club, made the cut last week and earned $300 but missed out by three shots this week with 72 and 76 for joint 52nd place on 148.
Englishman Paul Curry is in 12th place on 142 after a pair of 71s.
Americans John Koskinen (69-67) and John Kimbell (71-65) lead the field on eight-under-par 136 from last week’s winner, the quaintly-named Brad Klaprott, who is on 138 (68-70).
Paul Cormack and Mark Barnard are following the NGP Pro Tour for its first six events. They will return home in mid-December after a trip that will have cost them more than a fistful of dollars but will have enriched them in pro tournament experience.
