Scots start well in Chiberta

Grand Prix

Robert McKnight (Caprington), James White (Lundin) and Matthew Clark (Kilmacolm) have made a good start to the four-round Chiberta Grand Prix tournament at Biarritz in southwest France.

On a low-scoring day, McKnight shot a 65 and was still two shots behind the leader, Frenchman Guillaume Cambis.

Robert, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, is sharing second place in a field of 121 players.

James White and Matthew Clark are sharing seventh place on 67.

Duncan Stewart, from Grantown on Spey, won the Chiberta Grand Prix two or three years ago before he turned pro.
