SENIOR MOMENTS AS PGA EUROPRO TOUR EVENT RUNS LATE

One of GB&I's Walker Cup heroes at Balgownie last September, rookie pro Jack Senior (pictured) from Lancashire holds a one-shot lead on seven under par after a weather-affected second-day of the PGA EuroPro Tour's  BGC British Masters at Lingfield Park, Surrey.
Heavy rain waterlogging parts of the course delayed the start of Round Two but play eventually got underway at 2:15pm.
With almost six hours lost to the weather the decision was made to take the cut using the scores after Round One and proceed with the top 50 and ties playing the final 36 holes. This was to give the tournament the best possible chance of being concluded through 54 holes. Players who had carded one over par 72 or better made the cut, equating to 58 golfers.
Scots who missed the early cut were Craigielaw's Shaun McAllister (73), Ellon's Ross Cameron (73), Elliot Saltman (Archerfield Links) (73) and Eric Ramsay (Carnoustie) (82).
Not all players were able to complete their second rounds so will be out at 8am on Friday to complete the round.
Senior birdied the third, eighth, ninth and 11th to card four under through 11 on his second round, leaving him seven under for the tournament with seven holes to play on Friday morning.
Wallace Booth (Comrie) and John Gallagher (Swanston) are among those  on four under through 11 and sharing fifth place.
Cawder's Chris Kelly is level par after 11 holes.
John Henry (Clydebank&Dist) is one over par after 11 while Duncan Stewart (Grantown on Spey), tied for fifth place with two holes to play on Wednesday evening, is now well down the field on two over after 11.
Scots' completed second-rounds:
142 Paul Doherty 72 70.
147 Myles Cunningham 72 74.
148 Ed Wood 71 77.
+Later information: We understand that the EuroPro site has not caught up with Wallace Booth's latest position overnight. The Comrie man is seven under par after 15 holes of his second round, having earlier birdied five holes in a row - the third to the seventh.
