Mark Bookless (67) sharing 11th place

with one round to go in Chiberta GP

England's Billy Hemstock and Mark Bookless (Sandyhills), last year's Scottish boys' stroke-play champion, have moved into the leading 15 of the Chiberta Grand Prix tournament at Biarritz in southwest France with one round to go in the 72-hole event.
Hemstock had a six-under-par 64 today for a running total of five-under 205 and a share of seventh place behind the French leader, Romain Schneider who had a 69 for nine-under-par 201 and a two-shot lead from two other French players. Schneider, by the way, has a +3 handicap.
Bookless had a 67 for 206 and is sharing 11th place.
Fraserburgh's Kriss Nicol scored a 73 for 215 and is lying joint 33rd.
Greg Paterson (St Andrews New), who had scored pair of 70s, was disqualified. There is no indication of the tournament website why he was disqualified. In some events, "disqualified" some times means they did not turn up for their tee time. Disqualified also covers a multitude of infringements of the rules, including a mistake on a scored so there is no point in speculating when we are so far away from the tournament and have no direct link with the organisers.
