STIRLING STUDENT HOLMES LEADS GOLF DATA LAB SCOTS YOUTHS
Stirling University second-year student Kit Holmes, a member at Hunstanton Golf Club, Norfolk, leads at the halfway stage of the Golf Data Lab Scottish youths championship at Paisley.
The English-born contender heads the field of Under-21s with rounds of 71 and 68 for a two-under-par halfway tally of 139 and one-shot advantage going into Sunday's final two rounds.
Holmes bogeyed the first but by the time he had a second bogey he had chalked up four birdies (fourth, seventh, long 12th and short 13th). After his bogey at the 14th he birdied the short 15th and came home in 33 for 68.
His nearest challengers are both Scottish - Kyle McClung (Wigtownshire County) and Royal Aberdeen's Callum Trahan. They both have had scores of 71 and 69.
McClung had birdies at the long third, long 12th and short 17th before he dropped his only shot of the day at the 18th in halves of 35 and 34.
Callum Traham birdied three long holes - the third, 12th and 16th and had one bogey, at the sixth, in halves of 36 and 33.
Overnight leader Lawrence Allan (Alva) slumped from a 67 to a 79 which included a quadruple bogey 8 at the 14th and a double bogey 5 at the short 16th. He had three single bogeys - at the first, ninth and 18th in halves of 37 and 41. Lawrence did birdie the 11th and the long 16th.
The halfway cut to the leading 40 players and ties fell at 148, i.e. players with 36-hole totals of 148 and better qualified for Sunday's final 36 holes.
One of the surprise non-qualifiers was Brora's Calum Stewart who had rounds of 82 and 79 for 161 to miss the mark by some way.HALFWAY LEADERBOARD
