O'HARA NOW LEADING SCOT AS CAMERON SLIPS, LAW MISSES CUT

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Motherwell's Paul O'Hara took over as the leading Scot with a one-over 73 for a tally of one-over 145 and a share of 11th place with one round to go in the second EPD Tour event of its opening Turkey swing over the Gloria Golf Club Old Course at Belek.
O'Hara could have been a lot closer to the German leader Bjorn Stromsky, who had a 72 for 140, but for a double bogey 7 at the long 12th and a bogey 5 at the next. Birdies at the sixth, 11th and short 14th helped to keep the former Walker Cup reserve in line for some decent prizemoney.
Ellon's Ross Cameron (Saltire Energy) plummeted from joint second overnight to a share of 19th place after slipping from a first-round 69 to a 77 for 146. Starting at the 11th, Cameron bogeyed the 13th, 14th and 17th. He cancelled out birdies at the long first and long fifth with bogeys at the third and sixth and then ran up a double bogey 7 at the short seventh.
Northern Open champion David Law shot a respectable 74 - two birdies, four bogeys - for 154 but missed the cut by four shots, the damage having been done with an opening 80, in his first competitive round of the year.
