NO SCOTS LEFT IN SECOND HALF OF

EUROPEAN TOUR EVENT IN SPAIN

All four Scots - Euan Little (145), Scott Drummond (146), David Drysdale (148) and Andrew Oldcorn (152) - missed the cut figure of 144 at the halfway stage of the Valle Romano Open de Andalucia at Aloha Golf Club on Spain's Costa del Sol.

South African youngster Louis Oosthuizen left several well-known names in the shade, seizing the lead with a second-round 67 for a 10-under tally of 134.
Playing partner Steve Jones (67), the 1996 US Open champion, bogeyed the last to fall two strokes behind the 24-year-old pacesetter.
Lee Westwood was also two adrift of Oosthuizen after breaking the Aloha course record with a 64.
Oosthuizen was one ahead of last week's Italian Open winner Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano of Spain (68), first-round leader Matthew Zions of Australia (70) and Frenchman Francois Delamontagne (66).
The leader, though, was not overly impressed with his own form.
"I hit the ball really badly today but I kept recovering well and I made some crucial putts that kept up my momentum," he said.
Jones, who moved into contention by holing his second shot at the par-4 15th, was full of praise for the South African.
"He was bombing it, I was just trying to keep up with him," said the American. "He's going to be the one to catch this weekend, the way he's playing."
SUCCESSIVE WINS
Despite spending much of his time running the tournament he is promoting, Fernandez-Castano was on track for successive wins.
Tour rookie Zions woke up with a sore throat and was shivering badly at the start of his round. But he drank lots of water before a last-hole birdie gave him a big boost.
Westwood changed his putter, his grip and his fortunes on the greens dramatically as he lowered the Aloha record by one stroke with eight birdies.
The 2000 European No 1 had despaired after a dreadful start to the season with his putter.
Switching from a belly-putter to a normal model and deploying his left hand below his right, Westwood at last found his form on the greens.
"I'd brought out five putters in anticipation because of the way things have been going," he said.
"This one I used for the US Masters first round and vowed I'd never use it again but it suits the greens here. I putted cack-handed and I've not done that for a long, long time."
