Wallace Booth missed the cut in his debut on the NGA Hooters Tour, one of the leading American satellite pro golf circuits.
Booth, a former Walker Cup player who failed to win a European Tour player's card, had rounds of 72 and 77 for five-over-par 149 over the 6,978yd Rio Pinar Country Club course today (Wednesday).
Booth failed to score a birdie in his second round which was ruined by double bogey 6s at the 12th (his second) and second (his 11th). He also dropped a shot at the fourth.
"I started on the back nine the first round and was four over par through 5 but managed to get it together and finishing up shooting level-par 72. The second round I started on the first and again had a bad start," Wallace told Scottishgolfview.com by E-mail.
Wallace, from Comrie, Perthshire, entered the Hooters Tour event from an Augusta, Georgia address. He spent four years as an Augusta State University student.
A Walker Cup player of 2009 vintage, Chris Paisley from Newcastle, missed the cut by two shots with scores of 70 and 74 for 144. Paisley, like Booth, played the American college circuit for four years as a student at the University of Tennessee and has many contacts in that area. He entered from Gray, Tennessee.
Paisley, who finished high up in last week's Hooters Tour event, has gained playing rights for the upcoming Alps Tour.
Only the leading 40 and ties on 142 or better advanced to the third round of the Hooters Tour event. Paisley's second round included a costly double bogey 6 at the eighth.
Will Wilcox from Alabama leads on 136 with scores of 66 and 70.
