ROUND 1 TRIPLE BOGEY COST O'HARA 1,000 EUROS

Motherwell's Paul O'Hara shot a six-birdie, bogey-free 65 - the lowest of the second and final round today - to win the frost-shortened opening event of the EPD (German PGA) Tour at the Gloria Old Course, Belek on Turkey's Antalya southern coastline.
O'Hara, who had run up a triple bogey 7 at the 18th of a first-round two-over-par 73 finished on four-under 142 to win 2,000 Euros. But for that triple bogey Paul would have finished second, ahead of Marek Novy (Czech Republic (71-66 for 137) and collected 3,000 Euros
The only other Scot in the field, Ellon's Ross Cameron (sponsored by Saltire Energy), had a second-round 69 for 147 and earned 305 Euros for a share of 35th place. Cameron birdied the first, second and seventh, and had one bogey, at the 18th.
Maximilian Glauert from Germany won the first prize of 5,000 Euros by five shots with rounds of 64 and 68 for 10-under 132.
Severe frost delayed play by four hours on Thursday and Friday, forcing the organisers to cut the tournament from three to two rounds.

ROSS CAMERON REPORTS FROM TURKEY
Well, we finally got finished the first of four events in Turkey on the EPD Tour. As you posted we had a four-hour delay on Thursday and Friday due to frost which meant the tournament was cut to 36 holes. With all the delays it took some groups three days to finish their first rounds!
The weather on Thursday was bright and sunny but very windy and very cold, yesterday and today was calmer and certainly warmer!
Paul O'Hara finished 3rd with a very good 2nd round 65 which meant that was twice he has beaten me this week as he pipped me in the practice round also. I rallied with a second-round 69 to finish tied 35th and get a share of the last prize money.



The next event starts on Monday over the 'Old Course' here at the very nice Gloria Golf Club.
