WALLACE BOOTH TO THE FORE AT DUNDONALD
FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
The opening round of the First Qualifying Stage – Section C finally got completed after the weather delays of the first day with Scot Wallace Booth leading the way at Dundonald Links.
Booth, who turned professional during the 2009 Alfred Dunhill Championship, is making his first appearance since recovering from a shoulder injury that has limited his play this year and shot a two over par 74 in strong winds to lead by one from fellow Scot Chris Kelly and English Amateur Billy Hemstock.
Play had been disrupted in Scotland throughout the morning with play only getting underway at midday when the wind had dropped from gusts of 40mph to a more manageable 17 mph average, but still with gusts of 22mph. Birdies at the seventh and 11th helped take Booth into the lead.
The weather was similarly disruptive at Fleesensee in Germany with round two suspended at 19.20 due to darkness with a restart at 8am on Thursday after the heavy rain on day one and overnight had delayed proceedings.
When round one was finally completed, four players shared the lead on four under par 68. Home favourite Max Glauert of Germany was among them, along with Jerome Theunis of Belgium, Ben Jones of England and Canadian Matthew Bliss.
