AT FOREST HEIGHTS

Comrie's Wallace Booth (Augusta State University) had rounds of 73 and 74 for a 36-hole tally of 147 in the Schenkel Invitational college tournament at Forest Heights Golf Club, Statesboro in Georgia.
Wallace, pictured right, a former Scottish youths champion, had one birdie and two bogeys in his first round over the par-72, 6,972yd course. He boosted his number of birdies to three but also his tally of bogeys to five on the second circuit.
At the end of the day, Booth was in a creditable joint 19th place in a good class field with one round to go.
Chris Kirk (Georgia) led with 70 and 68 for 138 - three shots ahead of Wallace Booth team-mate Major Manning, Baker Elmore (South Carlina) and Brendon Todd (Georgia).
