EUROPEAN CHALLENGE TOUR

Henry gets it rolling but other Scots

face battle to beat the cut

From Michael Gibbons, Challenge Tour Press Officer
Former Scottish boys and Scottish men's amateur stroke-play champion Scott Henry produced a fine opening score of three under par 69 to get in the hunt for the Kärnten Golf Open presented by Markus Brier Foundation on the European Challenge Tour today.
Henry is just four shots off the early pacesetters Florian Fritsch of Germany and Spain’s Carlos Rodilles at the Golfclub Klagenfurt-Seltenheim, and one behind Austria’s most successful player, Markus Brier, the double European Tour Champion who is promoting the €140,000 event through his own Foundation.
While Henry held his own amidst the Austrian Alps, his compatriots in the field struggled in the first round, with Elliott Saltman (+1), Lloyd Saltman (+2), Jamie McLeary (+3) and Eric Ramsay (+5) all facing a second-round battle to make the halfway cut.
