SCOTTISH PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Heather (75-81) misses the Gleneagles cut

as Lomas (68-70) takes over halfway lead

Heather MacRae, the first female to play in the event since Meg Farquhar at Lossiemouth in 1933, failed to beat the halfway cut in the Gleneagles Scottish PGA championship over the PGA Centenary course today..
The 25-year-old Gullane assistant pro from Dunblane was never going to match her opening score of 75 after bogeying six of the first nine holes for an outward 42. She bogeyed another four on the inward track before getting her lone birdie of the round, at the 16th.
She finished in 81 for a 36-hole tally of 156 - five shots too many to qualify for the Saturday-Sunday play and a pay slip for taking part.
But Heather can hold her head high. She had her day on Thursday and she had about half the field of professionals behind her as she finished tied 84th. And she finished the course, which is more than could be said for too many male pros playing in their national championship.
Former European Tour pro Jonathan Lomas, who moved up to Scotland to live near Turnberry, took up the running at the halfway stage with rounds of 68 and 70 for six-under-par 138.
Almost inevitably Northern Open Craig Lee, who complained the course was far too short after a first-round 68, required three shots more in a second-round 71 for 139 and is one shot off the pace with 36 holes to play, probably just where he wants to be.
Mark King (Kingsfield) is in third place with 68 and 72 for 140.
