Ireland lead Scotland by 10 strokes with a
round to go in PGAs of Europe title race

Short of a major upheaval in Friday's fourth and final round, it's going to be Ireland the new champions with Scotland runners-up in the PGAs of Europe international team championship over the Roda course, Murcia in south-east Spain.
Ireland's team of John Kelly, Robert Giles (an Englishman) and Eamon Brady are on top of the pile with a 54-hole best two from three scores daily total of 16-under-par416.
Scotland's Sam Cairns (Colville Park), Robert Arnott (Bishopbriggs) and Gordon Law (Uphall) are 10 shots behind on six-under-par 426.
Ireland and Scotland are the only teams under par after three rounds.
England -represented by Paul Simpson, Paul Wesselingh and Will Barnes - are lying third on on 433.
Apart from the Tartan Tour trio, there are other Scots playing for the countries of whose PGA they are members. We've been highlighting Ben Collier from Callander, the 1990 Scottish boys champion, who is in the Dutch team.
Also Stephen Hubner from Caldwell, Glasgow. He's playing for the United Arab Emirates.
Also got a note from "Iain" at Letham Grange.
"There is another Scot hidden in there playing for Austria by the name of Douglas Nicoll, once of Letham Grange. He has now been a pro out in Austria for nearly 10 years."
Thanks, Iain. Have added Douglas Nicoll's individual scores to the scoreboard.
