Barry Hume, Zack Saltman miss out in EuroPro Tour even t
Rankin rallies to beat the cut, Herald slips to jt eighth
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Former Walker Cup player Graham Rankin covered the last eight holes in one under par, with a birdie at the short 14th, to beat the cut with nothing to spare after two rounds of this week’s PGA EuroPro Tour event, the Dawson and Sanderson Classic, at Longhirst Hall Golf Club, Northumberland today.
The Drumpellier man had saddled himself with an opening 80 but he was more focused in the second round and improved by eight shots for a 72 and a 36-hole tally of 152, right on the qualifying mark for the top 50 and ties..
Rankin’s chances of winning the £10,000 first prize are remote. He is 11 shots behind leader Nick McCarthy from Moortown, Leeds. McCarthy has had rounds of 70 and 71 for 142 over the 6,572yd, par-71 lay-out.
Scott Herald (Mearns Castle), joint leader overnight, still has a chance even though a 75, five shots worse than on Day 1, dropped him to joint eighth position on 145. Herald had a little bit of everything in his roller-coaster round – an eagle 3 at the 445yd 12th, birdies at the short sixth and 11th but a triple bogey 8 at the long 17th and bogeys at the third, seventh, eighth, 10th and 15th
Two other Scots made it through to the final day. Mark Rae is lying joint 33rd on 150 with scores of 74 and 76 while David Rodger (Windyhill) is tied for 44th place with 75 and 76 for 151.
Scots who missed the cut were Steven Mackie (76-78) and Zack Saltman (78-76) on 154, Barry Hume (78-77) and Ross Cameron (84-71) on 155, Andrew Barton (79-81) on 160, Stuart Burns (79-84) on 163 and John Henry (87-80) on 167.
