          CALLUM CZECHS OUT A GOOD SCORE

    Tulliallan’s Callum Macaulay has been having a tough time on the Challenge Tour---- after some missed cuts in the middle of the summer, he has fought back in August and then last week in the Czech Challenge Open he finished the leading Scot. Four well compiled sub par rounds (69, 70, 67, 69) gave a 13 under par score and a share of 11th place.  With only two events left--- he competes in Denmark this week--- it’s a very tall order (but not impossible) to reach the top twenty and move to the European Tour.  However he must be considerably encouraged by his last performance.  Best of luck as well!
