David Law top Scot in clubhouse
as fog slows play in Portugal

Four Scots - Philip McLean (Peterhead), Keir McNicoll (Carnoustie), Scott Borrowman (Dollar) and Paul O'Hara (Colville Park) - are among the 42 players who were unable to complete their second rounds today in the 72-hole Portuguese open amateur golf championship at Troia Golf Resort near Lisbon.
Early morning fog has disrupted the tee times on both days.
Aberdeen teenager David Law is the best-placed Scot in the clubhouse on three-over-par 147. After an opening round of 77, in which he took 42 shots to reach the turn, Law, one of Paul Lawrie's two protegees in the field - Philip McLean is the other, settled down to return a second-round 70 (36-34).
Greg Paterson (St Andrews New) is on 150 (79-71), Gavin Dear (Murrayshall) (75-76) and Wallace Booth (Comrie) (77-74) both on 151.
McNicoll scored 74 in the first round, McLean a 76, O'Hara an 80 and Borrowman an 83.
Jurrian Van der Vaart (Netherelands) is the leader in the clubhouse at seven-under-par 137 with rounds of 68 and 69.
