GLENN CAMPBELL LEADS BY TWO FROM YOUNG McLEAN

FROM COLIN FARQUHARSON AT THE SCOTTISH
CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS' TOURNAMENT
Blairgowrie's Glenn Campbell could "only" match the par of 71 in the
third round after earlier efforts of 68 and 69 had put him clear of the
field at the halfway stage of the Scottish champion of champions'
72-hole tournament at bright but breezy Leven links today.
But the former Scottish amateur match-play champion was able to
maintain a two-stroke lead over the quality field as his nearest
overnight rival, Ross Kellett (Colville Park) had a 73 for 212 which
dropped him to fourth place.
Campbell's 54-hole tally of five-under-par 208 was two shots ahead of
young Philip McLean, the Paul Lawrie protégé from Peterhead.
McLean was not even in the restricted field less than a couple of weeks
ago but one or two withdrawals have given him the chance to show what
he can do in this kind of company.
McLean, a Scotland youth cap, shot a 69 for 210 with birdies at the
dsthird, fourth, fifth 12th and 13th in halves of 33 (one under par)
and 36 o(one under par). His bogeys were a 6 at the long sixth, a 4 at
the short seventh and a 5 at the treacherous 18th, playing long into
the cooling wind.
Others who broke 70 in the Sunday morning round were past Scottish
youths champion Scott Borrowman from Dollar with a 67 for 214 and a
share of sixth place with Paul Betty (Hayston) who had a 72.
Borrowman birdied
the dfourth, sixth, 10th, 12th and 16th in halves of
32 and 36. He confined his bogeys to the last four holes, dropping
shots at the short 15th and the downwind par-4 17th.
Steven Rennie (Drumpellier) had the best third-round score of 67 which
lifted him up to eighth place on 215. Rennie made his round with an
outward half of three-under-par 31 which was highlighted with birdies
at the third, fourth and sixth. He got two more birdies after the
turn, at the 11th and 17th and had only one bogey, at the 14th.
Scottish stroke-play champion Wallace Booth from Comrie stayed in the
title hunt with a 71 for 211 and third place behind Campbell and McLean.
