BOYS' QUADRANGULAR INTERNATIONAL

Scots rally to beat France and keep

100 per cent record after Day 2


Scotland are favourites to win the boys' quadrangular international golf title at Chiberta Golf Club, Biarritz in southwest France after coming from behind to beat hosts France 5-4 on the second day of the three-day competition.
Sweden hammered Italy 6-1 in the other match.
The Scots, managed by Forfar Golf Club secretary Stuart Wilson, the former British amateur champion and Open championship leading amateur, go into their final match against Italy as the only team with two wins out of two.
Italy and Sweden have identical records of one win and one defeat. France have lost both their matches.
France had a 2-1 lead over Scotland after the morning foursomes but wins in the singles by Jack McDonald (Kilmarnock Barassie), the Scottish boys' stroke-play champion last year, Grant Forrest (Craigielaw), the Under-16 boys' title-holder, Calum Stewart from Brora and Scott Gibson (Southerness) turned the deficit around as the Scots took the singles 4-2.
Jack Scott (Deeside) and Ian Redford (St Andrews New) are the other players in the Scotland Under-18s' squad.
Forrest, picture above by courtesy of Tom Ward Photography, and Stewart have each won four out of four ties. McDonald has won three out of four.
