Lloyd Saltman's pain in Spain:

Slump from 64 to 77

Lloyd Saltman, at one time one of the world's leading amateurs, continues to struggle as a professional.
After leading the field with a first-round, seven-under-par 64 in the Spanish Hi5 Pro Tour's Valle d'Este Open in the Murcia province, south-east Spain, the Archerfield pro, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency, required 13 shots more for his second circuit - a six-over-par 77 for a two-round tally of 141.
The biggest blots on his scorecard were a double bogey 5 at the short second and a quadruple bogey 8 at the par-4 15th.
That drops him down the leaderboard to joint fifth with older brother Elliot who has had steadier rounds of 70 and 71.
The third Saltman sibling, young Zack, is just about last in the field of 40-odd with rounds of 87 and 75 for 162.
Englishman Alex Belt and Matthew Cryer lead the field with 36-hole tallies of 133 and 135 respectively. Belt's rounds have been 67 and 66, Cryer 67 and 68.
In the women's event Rhian Wyn Thomas leads the field of three by 11 shots with scores of 73 and 71 for 144.
Caroline Martens (Norway) is on 155 (75-80) and Sabina Imboden (Switzerland) is on 168 with a pair 84s.
