MICHAEL STEWART ONLY SCOT TO BEAT ALPS TOUR CUT

Michael Stewart from Troon was the only Scot to survive the 36-hole cut in the Alps Tour's Asiago Open in Italy today.
Stewart, pictured, a former Scottish amateur champion and a member of the
Walker Cup-winning team at Royal Aberdeen in 2011, birdied the short 17th to make it through with nothing to spare.
Earlier the Ayrshire man had bogeyed the 10th, 11th, 14th and 15th.
He had rounds of 69 and 71 for a level par tally of 140 - 10 shots behind another from the GB and I team of two years ago, Steven Brown (Wentworth).
Brown leads by two with scores of 67 and 63 for 10-under 130.
Ellon's Ross Cameron (68 for 143), Kris Nicol (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) (72 for 144) and John Henry (Clydebank and Dist) (72 for 144) all missed the cut.
