ALPS TOUR IN AUSTRIA

Gavin Dear (65) beats cut, Steven Hume (74) misses it

FROM THE ALPS TOUR WEBSITE
Matthew Cryer confirmed good form with 64 today to increase his lead to six strokes with an 18-under-par tally of 126. He has only dropped one shot in two days and has already got a hand on the jug of the Haugschlag Nö-Open in Austria.
His fellow Englishman Jason Palmer shot 64 for 132 as well and is a kind of used to be the runner up this season. He already had five top 5 this year and will have to be extremely efficient to disturb Cryer's plan tomorrow.
Austrian Leo Astl and Czech amateur Tim Gornik are two-way tie fourth 7 strokes back of the lead. The level of the field was very consistent this week and the perfect weather provided great scores. The cut is fixed at -3, the lowest tie this season with Gösser Open one.
Despite this very low score, one player should appreciate this very special day more than the others. Frenchman Romain Zwahlen is going to play more than 2 days for the first time in 21 appearances on the Alps Tour. Everybody has kept in mind Justin Rose's 19 cuts missed in a row as he turned pro. Now it's up to Zwahlen to follow in Rose's footsteps.
Another Frenchman did have his moment today. Now well known Alan Bihan holed in one his 9th hole the 18th. Bihan signed for 66 to be 10th prior to tee off last round.

SCOTSWATCH: Golf's a funny game - but Steven Hume's not laughing. He had a second-round 74 for 142 and missed the cut by one shot. Meanwhile, Perthshire colleague Gavin Dear who looked to be the man in "trouble" aftere a first-round 74, improved by nine shots and he easily made the cut on 139 which gives him a share of 19th place.
