Highlander Duncan Stewart from Grantown on Spey is hitting the high spots in the PGA EuroPro Tour championship at Mar Menor Golf Resort in the Murcia region of south-east Spain.
The former US college circuit player shot a six-under-par 65 in today's (Thu) second round to move into a share of third place on 10-under-par 132 - only two shots behind the new leader, James Busby (The Shropshire) who has had a pair of 65s for 12-under 132.
Stewart, who has been a winner of a £10,000 first prize on the EuroPro Tour circuit this season, have seven birdies - the first, third, long sixth, long seventh, long 10th, 11th and 12th with only one minus: a bogey at the fifth.
But he could not squeeze a bogey out of the last six holes, having to settle for the status quo with six pars.
Cawder's Chris Kelly gives Scotland two players within the top 10. Kelly is sharing fifth place on 134 after repeating his opening 67. He showed his fighting spirit by bouncing back from a double bogey 5 at the short eighth with birdies at the long 10th, 11th, 12th and 18th. Earlier he had birdied the fifth and long sixth,
Craigielaw's former Scottish boys stroke play champion Shaun McAllister is in joint 12th place on 136 after a second-round 70. He birdied the long seventh but bogeyed the short eighth before repairing some of the damage with birdies at three of the first four holes on the inward half - the long 10th, 12th and 13th.
Then McAllister let it slip again with bogeys at the short 14th and 16th.
Ed Wood (Crow Wood) and former Scottish boys match-play champion Lee Harper (Archerfield Links) are tied for 28th place on 139. Wood has scored 71-68, Harper 69-70.
Another past Scottish boys' champion, Paul Doherty (Vale of Hotel) is lying joint 32nd in the select field of 58. He had a 69 for 140.
