CAMERON STILL LEADS AS McALLISTER IMPROVES IN N IRELAND

By COLIN FARQUHARSON Colin@scottishgolfview.com  Ellon's Ross Cameron is still leading chase for the £10,000 prize in this week's PGA EuroPro Tour event, the Galgorm Castle Northern Ireland Open at Ballymena, Northern Ireland. He did not have so many birdies as in his brilliant opening round of nine-under-par 63, but three more helped to steady the ship and he returned a second-round 71 for 10-under-par 134. Cameron leads by two shots from Graeme Clark (Doncaster) (67-70). In joint third place is young Craigielaw player, Shaun McAllister who has had scores of 69 and 68 for 137. McAllister birdied the third, eighth, 15th, 16th and 18th with a solitary bogey at the 10th. McAllister, like Cameron, is chasing his biggest ever cash prize in Friday's final round.
