DEAR SURVIVES, HUME MISSES CUT

Former Walker Cup player Gavin Dear will start the final round of the Alps Tour's Peugeot Classic at Prunevill Golf Club, Sochaux in France in joint 19th place.

But his Perthshire colleague Steven Hume missed the second-round cut by eight strokes.

Dear included an eagle at the sixth in his one-under-par 71 for a tally of level par 144 - six shots behind the joint leaders.

Hume followed up a nightmare 80 with a 76 for 156.
