Three Scots - Ross Cameron from Ellon, Motherwell's Paul O'Hara and Gavin Dear (Murrayshall) - survived the 36-hole cut at this week's EPD Tour event, the Al Maaden Open at Marakech, Morocco.
But three more - Philip McLean, David Law and Jordan Findlay - missed out.
Cameron dropped from joint third overnight to a share of sixth place with a par 72 for 139.
O'Hara, with birdies at the short sixth, lng seventh, short 12th and 14th, offset by bogeys at the third and 18th, had halves of 35 in moving up to joint 15th with a 70 for 142 while Dear had a mixed bag of birdies and bogeys in compiling a par 72 for 143 and joint 21st place.
Dear birdied the long fourth, the ninth, the 14th and the 17th but bogeyed the 11th, 12th, 16th and 18th in halves of 34 and 38.
On the wrong side of the par 144 cut mark were Peterhead's McLean (73 for 145), David Law (Aberdeen) (74 for 147) and Fraserburgh's Jordan Findlay (75 for 154).
Philip, starting at the 10th, birdied the 13th and 17th and at that stage was on course to qualify for the third and final round, given that he had a par 72 in the bag from the first day. But it all went pear-shaped on the second nine for the Buchan loon. He had a double bogey 6 at the second and a bogey at the fifth for 145 to miss the cut by one.
David had only one birdie, at the seventh but bogeys at the third, short 15th and 17th in halvges of 36-38.
Jordan had an eagle 3 at the 15th but his usual double bogey - just one, though - popped up at the short 15th.
