Texas Tight Lies Tour Winter Series

LEE RHIND SALVAGES

A 73 FROM WRECKAGE

OF TRIPLE BOGEY 7

Former Scottish boys' open amateur champion Lee Rhind, a winner on the PGA EuroPro Tour and the Tight Lies Tour in America last year, is back in the States campaigning on the Tight Lies Tour circuit.
The Uphall tour pro salvaged a one-over-par 73 from the wreckage of a triple bogey 7 at the 14th in the first round of the River Plantation Open at River Plantation Country Club near Houston, Texas today.
Lee, pictured right, had bags of birdies - at the third, sixth, eighth and 16th but he dropped single shots at the fourth and 18th as well as his catastrophe at the 14th.
He is lying joint 12th behind leader Chad Ginn on four-under-par 68.
Under the mini-tour's Winter Series rules, only 30 % of the field contest the third and final round after a 36-hole cut.
There were 55 entries to this event, so roughly 18/19 players will beat the cut.
It costs $600 for a Texas Tight Lies Tour member to enter; $725 for non-members.
