GARETH IS MADE OF WRIGHT STUFF

Lothians-based WelshmanGareth Wright bagged two eagles in a rollercoaster second round at the Glenmuir PGA Professional Championship at De Vere Carden Park.
The West Linton pro (pictured) followed up his first round 66 with a three-under-par 69 that took the Welsh-born ace through the gamut of emotions.
He bogeyed the third, birdied the fourth then had back to back dropped shots on seven and eight before an eagle on the 568-yard par-5 ninth got him back on track.
A further birdie came at 13 with a brilliant seven iron to four feet on the par five 18th taking him to nine under for the £78,000 event and just a shot behind leader Craig Shave.
“I felt good on the range in the morning but struggled for rhythm early on but something clicked into place on the ninth and I played really nicely the rest of the round,” said Wright who is tied second with former European Tour player Stuart Little who recorded a 66.
“On the last I hit three wood leaving me 170 yards and hit a seven iron to four feet for eagle which turned a mediocre round into a really nice round.
“My game has been pretty good all year, bar a spell where I had tendonitis in my arm, but apart from that it’s been going well.”
PGA Cup captain Russell Weir is in attendance at the Cheshire resort to run the rule over potential candidates for his team with a captain’s pick available to him for next year's matches against the United States at Slaley Hall
