STEVEN MAXWELL IS TENNANT CUP FIRST-ROUND LEADER

Steven Maxwell (Windyhill) was the first-round leader in the Tennant Cup 72-hole SGU Order of Merit tournament which began at Glasgow Gailes links today.
On a day of horrendous weather, Maxwell shot a great round of one-under-par 70 -- five shots better than the CSS!
Maxwell carries a lead of one stroke into the second round, also at Glasgow Gailes, over Scott Crichton (Aberdour) and New Zealander Sam Davis.
Defending champion James White (Lundin) was one of four players sharing fifth place on 74.
 The final 36 holes will be played at Glasgow Golf Club's Killermont course tomorrow.
