Henry, McGhee and Harper come through Alps

Tour Q School Stage 1

Three of the four Scottish competitors in the field came through the 36-hole Stage 1 of the Alps Tour Qualifying School.
The odd man out was Ben Irvine from Kirkcudbright with rounds of 83 and 70 for 153. That was five shots too many to survive, pity because Ben's second round showed he had the potential to make it but the first round was a millstone round his neck.
Scott Henry from Cardross came through with flying colours - in second place at the Riva dei Tessali venue.
Scott had scores of 69 and 68 for five-under-par 137, four shots behind the "winner" at this course, French amateur Guillaume Cambis with scores of 68 and 65.
At Metaponto, England's Paul Maddy led from start to finish with rounds of 64 and 68 for 12-under-par 132. He had six strokes between him and the second-placed competitor.
James McGhee (Turnhouse) and Lee Harper (Archerfield Links) both qualified on the 143 mark - joint 16th - at Metaponto. Both players had scores of 74 and 69.
The Alps Tour Final Q School will take place next week.
