David Law staged a storming finish to climb up the final leaderboard and finish sixth in the German PGA Developmental Tour's Al Maaden Open at Marrakesh, Morocco. The Aberdonian, playing out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, packed seven birdies into a five-under-par 67 for a 54-hole aggregate of eight-under-par 208. He birdied the first, long fourth, long seventh, eighth, long 13th, 14th, short 15th and long 16th, offset by bogeys at the second and llth. Law earned 1,125 Euros for finishing four shots behind the winner, Dutchman Robin Kind, who beat Germany's Bernd Ritthammer at the first hole of a sudden-death play-off after they had tied on 12-under-par 204. Had Law not had two double bogeys on his outward half in the second round he would have made it a three-way play-off. Kind won the 5,000 Euros top prize with a bogey at the extra hole after Ritthammer, winner of last week's Amelkis Open, also at Marrakesh, went into water and could do no better than a double bogey 6. LEADING FINAL TOTALS Par 216 (3x72) 204 Robin Kind (Net) 65 67 72, Bernd Ritthammer (Ger) 69 69 66 (King, 5,000 Euros, bt Ritthammer, 3,000 Euros, at first hole of a sudden death play-off). 205 Francois Delamontagne (Fra) 66 69 70 (2,000 Euros) 207 Dennis Kupper (Ger) 71 67 69, Alexander Knappe (Ger) 68 67 72 (1,125 Euros each). 208 David Law (Sco) 66 75 67 (1,210 Euros). |

Ross Kellett and Kris Nicol were sharing third place on one-under-par 71 at the end of the first round in the Alps Tour's Red Sea Little Venice Open at Sokhna Golf Club, Egypt today. Kellett, from Motherwell, deviated from par only four times - an eagle at the 319yd par-4 first, a birdie 3 at the 11th and bogeys at the short fifth and par-4 15th. Fraserburgh's Nicol, playing out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, in contrast had six birdies - at the first, second, 10th, 11th, 15th and 16th - but also a bad run where he dropped five shots over five holes: bogey at the fourth, double bogey at the sixth and bogeys at the seventh and eighth. But that splendid, bogey-free inward half of 32 repaired most of the damage. Ross Cameron from Ellon is sharing 33rd place on 73 which included a triple bogey 7 at the second.Troon's Michael Stewart, beaten in a play-off in his last outing, is back in joint 42nd place in this one. He subsided to a two-over 74 after birdieing the long third, long seventh and short eighth on his way to an outward 34. Stewart's birdie-less inward half of 40 included bogeys at the 10th, 14th, 15th and long 17th. John James Henry from Clydebank & Districti had a 75, which left him in joint 53rd position in a field of 77 players. He had a double bogey 6 at the 15th followed by birdies at the 16th and long 17th. Welshman Rhys Enoch and France's Pierre-Ludovic Couvert lead the field on the five-under 67 mark.
