Macaulay and Drysdale only

Scots within the "safety zone"

If the European Tour Final Qualifying School was decided over only two rounds - instead of six - then the only Scots in the PGA Catalunya field who would win playing rights on the big tour would be Scottish amateur champion Callum Macaulay (Tulliallan) and Dunbar tour pro David Drysdale.
Macaulay is in joint 17th place with scores of 71 and 67 for 138,
six shots behind the Swedish leader Oskar Henningson (pair of 66s for 132). Only the leading 30 after 108 holes will make the top grade.
Drysdale, without the help of a hole in one this time, had a 71 for 139 and joint 28th place. David is not all that happy about the state of the putting surfaces at PGA Catalunya.
Andrew Coltart and Greig Hutcheon are handily placed in a share of 33rd place on 140. Both started with 69s and both shot 69 at the Gerona venue today.
Former Scottish champion Andrew McArthur is back in joint 45th place with a 70 and 71 for 141.
Lloyd Saltman had a disappointing if not disastrous second-round 75, six shots worse than his Thursday effort, to tumble down to joint 92nd place on 144.
It's a long way back up to the 30 from there but Saltman had so much talent as an amateur he surely cannot fail to make it to the European Tour as a professional. Saltman now needs four good if not very good scores to get his card. He has a habit of responding to pressure - he holed a birdie putt to win a seven-man play-off to get to the Final Q School.
Peter Whiteford had an even more disappointing day than Lloyd. The Fifer sank from 67 to 68 for 145 and joint 105th place.
Chris Doak, the Tartan Tour No 1, who has been playing so well all season, has gone off the boil at just the wrong time. Rounds of 76 and 71 for 147 leave him sharing 127th place with Craig Lee with the same score.
Andrew Oldcorn looks to have "gone" on the 150 mark with scores of 77 and 73 for a share of 142nd place.
Former Scottish amateur champion Graham Gordon from Aberdeen is another who has not done himself justice at PGA Catalunya. He is sharing 145th place on 151 with scores of 77 and 74.
Past Scottish boy and men's stroke-play champion Scott Henry from Cardross, playing as an amateur, will surely not be turning pro after a disappointing two days. He is sharing 151st place on 152 after scores of 75 and 77.
