Title-holder James White from Lundin Golf Club, Fife is making a grand defence of the Scottish Fuels Sutherland Chalice title at Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club.
The Fifer, winner of the Tennant Cup only a few weeks back and the Scottish boys match-play champion of a few years before that, has had a pair of crisp 67s for a six-under-par total of 134.
Is this shaping as yet another win for a Kingdom of Fife golfer, hard on the heels of Ben Kinsley's success in the Scottish Under-16 boys' championship at Forfar on Friday?
But it's not over yet by any means. White, pictured, leads only by one shot from Glenbervie's Graeme Robertson who is knocking on the door of a first victory in an SGU 72-hole Order of Merit event.
Graeme has had several top-five/ten finishes this sumer and with scores of 67 and 68 for 135, he is snapping at White's heels going into Sunday's two rounds.
And, only two shots behind the pacemaker, are three players on 136 - Paul Shields (Kirkhill) who came home in a brilliant 29 shots for a second-round 65, Fraser McKenna (Balmore) (69-67) and first-round leader Adam Dunton (64-72) who has made the long trip down to Dumfries from Ellon in Aberdeenshire.
Scott Crichton (Aberdour) and Philip McLean (Peterhead), first and second after last Sunday's play-off finish to the Cameron Corbett Vase tournament have lost their sparkle this weekend.
They made the cut - 147 or better qualified for Sunday action- but Crichton is on 145 (73-72) and McLean right on the limit mark with rounds of 75 and 72, but both look too far off the pace to have a chance on Sunday.
But, you never know. Adam Dunton showed what's possible with his opening round of 64, and Paul Shields has demonstrated what can be done on the inward half, so perhaps all is not yet lost for Messrs Crichton and McLean. Go to it, lads!
