KELLETT STRIVING FOR TOP 20 FINISH

Motherwell's Ross Kellett has fair amount of ground to make up if he is to salvage a top-20 finish from the latest Alps Tour event, the Dolomiti Open. Kellett ran up a quadruple bogey 8 at the ninth in an outward half of 41 on his way to a round of 74 for a 36-hole tally of 147. He came home in a bogey-free 33 to be lying joint 26th going into the last round. Englishman Andrew Cooley leads by two shots with a pair of 69s for an eight-under-par tally of 138.
