George Murray leads four Scots into

Challenge Tour weekend action

From Challenge Tour Press Officer Paul Symes
Former national amateur champion George Murray was top of the Scots again after an eagle helped the Anstruther man to a round of 68 on day two of The Princess in Sweden, where England’s Andrew Butterfield still leads the way on 11 under par.
Murray started the day on the cut line at Båstad GK in Båstad, but three birdies and an eagle 2 at the 16th hole moved him comfortably inside the mark on three under par.
He was joined on that score by fellow Scots Andrew McArthur and Lloyd Saltman, who posted respective rounds of 71 and 70, whilst Peter Whiteford will also feature over the weekend after a round of 70 moved him to one under par.
However, Greig Hutcheon, Jamie McLeary, Eric Ramsay and Raymond Russell will all miss out after finishing on the wrong side of the 142 cut line.
