O'HARA AND LAW MAKE TURKISH CUT, CAMERON, FINDLAY FAIL

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Motherwell's Paul O'Hara remains the most consistent Scottish player on the German PGA's EPD Tour.
He is just outside the top 10 with one round to go in the Sueno Pines Classic - the last event of the tour's four-event Turkish swing - while rookie pro David Law made his first cut this year.
Ellon's Ross Cameron and Jordan Findlay (Fraserburgh) missed the cut by four and 11 shots respectively.
Motherwell's O'Hara, pictured left, is joint 11th after a one-birdie 74 for one-under 143 - nine shots behind the German leader, Daniel Wunsche (67-67).
Paul bogeyed he second, 11th and 16th but got one back by birdieing the par-5 17th.
Aberdonian Law has had a pair of 73s for 146 and is sharing 26th place. He looked to be in for another disappointing round when he was three over par to the turn but then birdied the 12th, 14th and long 15th and only a bogey at the short 16th prevented him matching the par of 72.
Cameron, starting at the 10th, had a triple bogey 7 at the sixth and required 42 shots for his second nine in a 78 for 152. On the credit side, he did birdie the ninth, long 13th and 17th.
Findlay remains an enigma. He developed some consistent form on the North-east Alliance circuit before and after Christmas but his game seems to fall apart in anything bigger than the Scottish Alliance.
Today Jordan, twice a British boys' finalist and once a winner, had a triple bogey at the 12th and double bogeys at the third and 10th in an 84 for 159.
For a man of Findlay's talent, that's an inexplicable score.
