ONLY TWO SCOTS MAKE EUROPRO TOUR CUT
Only two Scots – Elliot Saltman (Aegon) and Lee Harper (Archerfield Links) – survived the 36-hole cut in this week’s PGA EuroPro Tour event, the Skycaddie European Championships at Hever Castle Golf Club, Kent.
Saltman packed four birdies and a lone bogey – at the 18th – into a three-under-par 69 for a two-round tally of 142 and joint 20th place going into the final round.
He is five shots behind the leader in the chase for the £10,000 prize, Englishman Justin Evans (69 for 137).
Harper slipped from an impressive 69 to a sloppy 75, including a double bogey 5 at the short sixth, and is sharing 29th place on 144 – two shots inside the limit qualifying mark of 146, which Gary Wolstenholme (70-76) made with nothing to spare.
Carnoustie’s Keir McNicoll (71-147), Scott Henry (The Carrick at Loch Lomond) (74-147) and Drumpellie’s Graham Rankin (70-147) all failed by one shot – and all of them bogeyed the last hole! In fact McNicoll bogeyed the 15th, 16th and 18th; Henry the 13th and 18th, and Rankin the 15th and 18th, are a birdie-eagle-birdie purple patch from the ninth to the 11th, had given him an excellent chance of qualifying.
Shaun McAllister (Craigielaw) ended on 148 with a pair of 74s, the same total as Duncan Stewart (Grantown-on-Spey) with a second-round76.
Swanston’s John Gallacher missed out on 149, Paul Docherty on 150, Zack Saltman and John Henry on 151 and Kevin McAlpine on 160.
