SCOTS LOSE BUT SHARE DAY 2 HONOURS IN SOUTH AFRICA


South Africa beat Scotland 15 1/2-12 1/2 to win the Leonard Trophy in the two-day men's amateur golf international match at Leopard Creek Golf Club.
The Scots started the second day trailing by three points from the first two sessions and the leeway stretched to four points when South Africa won the morning session 3-2.
But Scotland came storming back in the nine singles, highlighted by a win for Fraser McKenna over South Africa's No1 ranked player, Haydn Porteous.
Thanks to McKenna (pictured) and back-up wins by Jamie Savage, Michael Daily, Scott Crichton and Ross Bell, the Scots won the final session 5-4 and shared the second-day honours at 7pt apiece.
Daily and Fraser Moore extended their record to three wins out of three in the morning session. Moore tasted defeat for the first time in the afternoon but Daily went on to finish with a 100 per cent record - a great effort at this level.
