MIGUEL ANGEL MARTIN LEADS Hi5 PRO TOUR EVENT BY THREE

FROM THE SPANISH Hi5 PRO TOUR WEBSITE
Miguel Angel Martin posted a spectacular 64 today and now enjoys a three- shot lead going into the final round of the 2011 El Valle Open near the city of Murcia, Spain.
The Spanish European Tour veteran's round included an eagle and five birdies and not a single bogey. He is on 12-under-par 130. Weather conditions were perfect today with bright blue skies, warm temperatures and virtually no wind.
What the players did have to face were extremely slick greens, as the El Valle course was prepared as for a regular European Tour event with greens measuring close to 12 on the stimpmeter.
The cut for the top 40 players came in at +3 (145 or better qualified) with a field that included several highly notable names such as Sam Hutsby, Mark Mouland and new European tour member, Florian Fritsch of Germany.
Currently in second place by himself at nine-under 133 is Jonathan Caldwell of Ireland who shot 66 today. In joint third place are Scotland's Jack Doherty (67-69), Carlos Garcia (ESP)and James Busby (ENG), all at -6 after 36 holes.
Swanston's John Gallagher dropped out of the hunt with a one-over-par 72 for 139 and is sharing ninth place.
Jack Doherty's younger brother Paul, once the Scottish boys' match-play champion, survived the cut with nothing to spare, after rounds of 72 and 73 for 145.
Scots who missed the cut were Shaun McAllister (Craigielaw) (70 for 147), Ian Redford (78 for 152) and Zack Saltman (80 for 159).
The fine high pressure system that has been in Spain the past 10 days is forecasted to continue for the next few days.
