Ayrshire-based Lomas fails to cut it
in US Tour Q School Stage 2 event

Englishman Jonathan Lomas, an Ayrshire-based Tartan Tour player, failed to make the 19 qualifiers from the US PGA Tour School Stage 2 event at Oak Valley Golf Club, California at the weekend.
Lomas, now 40, was the European Tour Rookie of the Year in 1994 and won the Czech Open in 1996. He had rounds of 73, 76, 73 and 72 for 294 to finished 59th behind Canadian Jim Rutledge who scored 71, 69, 68 and 65 for 273.
One Englishman who did make it through to the US Tour's Final Q School at PGA West Golf Club, La Quinta in California over six rounds from December 3 to 8, was Matt Richardson who finished fourth of the 20th qualifiers in the Stage 2 event at Lantana Golf Club, Texas.
Richardson scored 70, 74, 67 and 72 for 283 - three shots behind winner Jimmy Walker from Texas with 69, 71, 72 and 69 for 280.
Notah Begay, four-time winner on the US Tour and a friend of Tiger Woods, shot a 65 in his final round to qualify in joint ninth place on 287. His earlier rounds had him outside the possible cut-off mark - 71, 77 and 74.
