PAUL O'HARA JOINT FIFTH DESPITE SHORT-HOLE BLUNDERS

Paul O'Hara bogeyed three short holes in his second round today but the good news from Turkey is that the Motherwell man salvaged a two-under-par 67 and is joint fifth on three-under 135 with Sunday's final round in the Sueno Duens Classic at Belek to come.
O'Hara birdied the first, short fourth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 18th in halves of 33 (one under) and 34 (one under). He bogeyed the second, short seventh, short 12th and short 17th.
The Scot is four shots behind the joint leaders on seven-under 131,
Marek Novy (66-65) from the Czech Republic and Germany's Sebastian Buhl (67-64).
They are two shots ahead of Damien Perrier from France (67+66) so even if the joint pacemakers are perhaps out of reach for O'Hara, he could well finish third with another sub-par round on Sunday.
Novy made only one bogey but five birdies in his second round. Buhl was on his way to a record round today with seven birdies after 12 holes but a bogey on 15 and a double bogey on 17 dropped him back to a 64 in the end - after he birdied also the last hole.
The final round of the 2011 Sueno Dunes Classic will start at 8 am local time on Sunday.
The total purse of the tournament is 30,000 Euros. The winner will get a cheque for 5,000 Euros.
