THREE SCOTS IN FIELD FOR PGA PLAY-OFFS, STARTING IN TURKEY ON SATURDAY

FROM THE PGA WEBSITE
Richard Wallis, pictured above, will begin the quest for a third successive Titleist PGA Play-Offs crown playing alongside PGA Cup team-mate and reigning Glenmuir PGA Professional Champion Dan Greenwood.
The duo are joined by Powerade PGA Assistants’ winner Matthew Cort in the last group out in a 24-strong field competing at Antalya Golf Club’s PGA Sultan course from Saturday to Monday.
Kent ace Wallis (Walmer and Kingsdown) has dominated the play-offs for the past two years and will go into the event targeting a minimum of a top ten finish which will earn a place in next year’s BMW PGA Championship.
But he faces stiff competition with the top three from each of The PGA’s seven regions all in Turkey.
Leading finishers in the £15,000 event, which is played over 54 holes, will also gain a number of other European and Challenge Tour starts.
Wallis and Greenwood (Forest Pines) are joined by three other heroes from Great Britain  and Ireland’s PGA Cup team that secured a memorable draw against the United States at Slaley Hall in September.
They are Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf), David Callaway (Mildford) and Greig Hutcheon (Banchory).
A third Scot in the field is Cawder's Chris Kelly.
GREIG HUTCHEON QUOTE

“I’ve certainly been playing quite tidily and I feel I have a good chance having finished tied third in the event last year, although I have struggled on the greens at Antalya which are quite sticky with a little bit of grain making them not easy to read,” said Hutcheon, who lifted the Play-Offs title in 2010.
“This will probably be my last action of the year, as I’ll pack my clubs away for December and January. But I’ve been putting in some practice for this and it’s great to be involved in such a big tournament. Bringing the leading players from the regions together for the play-offs is a fantastic way to end the season.”
A three-times Challenge Tour winner before turning his attention back to the domestic circuit, he added: “I think the top guys are too good for me to be able to win on Tour but I still think in these big events there is no reason why I can’t get a top ten.”
