BYRNE AND MCKINNON SHARE LEAD ON 66 AT CARDRONA 36-HOLE CHALLENGE

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Colin@scottishgolfview.com
Banchory's James Byrne returned to the scene of his 2007 Scottish boys stroke-play championship win - and picked up the scent of victory again with a six-under-par round of 66 in the first round of the Cardrona Hotel 36-hole Challenge tournament at the Peebles venue.

That put last year's Northern Open champion, pictured right, level overnight with Ayrshireman James McKinnon (Irvine) at the head of a field of 86.
Both leaders shot eight birdies and two bogeys.
McKinnon had the better outward half - five birdies and no bogeys to turn in 31 against Byrne's 34. But it was Byrne, 24, an Asian Tour member, who eliminated the bogeys after the turn, coming home in 32 with birdies at the 12th, 13th, 17th and 18th.

McKinnon. back in 35, dropped shots at the 15th and 17th in the middle of three birdies over the last seven holes.
They lead by one shot from Buchanan Castle's Jason McCreadie who has already shot some low scores in Tartan Tour pro-ams this season.
Anyone of the top 12 - perhaps more - could yet win the £1,750 first prize by shooting low numbers in the final round over the risk-and-reward David Thomas-designed Borders course.
Greig Hutcheon (Banchory), winner of a silver salver at Wenworth on Sunday for being the leading PGA pro still there after 72 holes of the PGA championship, adjusted well enough with a three-under 69 but he is "only" joint ninth.
Greig bogeyed the first but was four-under-par for the remainder of his round with birdies at the sixth, seventh, 10th and 14th.

Local assistant pro Ailsa Bain, pictured left, the Scottish U18 girls champion in 2009, and Heather MacRae (Gleneagles), a winner on the LETAS circuit in Sweden last week, deserve a mention for par-matching rounds of 72 which means they are T24 in the big field of 86 at halfway.
The astonishing aspect of Ailsa's round was that she was able to cancel out a pair of double bogey 6s - at the seventh and 10th, with a bag of five birdies, at the long sixth, eighth, long 12th, short 13th and long 14th. Local knowledge, indeed!

Heather, pictured right, had a steady round of two birdies, the seventh and short 13th, two bogeys, the eighth and 10th, and 14 solid pars
One common denominator for Bain and MacRae - they have both played on the new Paul Lawrie Scottish Ladies Tour this year! The extra competition must have helped them.
Stephen Gray (Hayston), winner of the first of the PGA in Scotland's 36-hole Challenge series at Spey Valley, is unlikely to make it two in a row after taking 38 shots for the first nine and returning a one-over 73.

WALTON HEATH, WHERE MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE DOGS ON THE FAIRWAYS!

By ALISTAIR TAIT
WALTON-ON-THE-HILL, England – Ninety-four of Europe’s elite professionals turned up to qualify for arguably the game’s hardest major, and a garden party broke out.
What do you expect when you stage a U.S. Open qualifying tournament at Walton Heath, a most quintessential English golf club in a place called Walton-on-the-Hill in the leafy county of Surrey?
For the record, Simon Khan, Paul Casey, Jaco Van Zyl, Morten Orum Madsen, Peter Hedblom, Marcus Fraser, Eddie Pepperell, Jose Maria Olazabal, David Howell, John Parry, Chris Doak and Estanislao Goya took the 12 qualifying spots and will tee it up at Merion next month.
The day was about more than who qualified. For those fans who turned up, it was a chance to see some of the rising stars of European and international golf for free in a relaxed atmosphere. Colin Montgomerie, Jose Maria Olazabal, Casey, Ross Fisher, Howell, Simon Dyson, Alexander Noren, Pablo Martin, Rhys Davies, Oliver Fisher, Peter Uihlein and Tom Lewis all teed it up, to name a few.
Members sat on the clubhouse terrace sipping cocktails while competitors practiced their putting just a few yards away. A man in a white straw boater hat and a blue blazer sat sipping red wine as if he was watching a cricket match.
The only roped-off area was behind the first tee of the Old Course. Aside from that, spectators could walk practically wherever they wanted, though most were savvy enough to stay well out of the way.
Still, five young autograph hunters actually strode onto the Old Course’s 18th green to get autographs from Matthew Baldwin and Chris Paisley. One of the youngsters was in bare feet. A passing cyclist leaned on his bike nearby.
“It’s like watching Ollie play amateur golf again,” said Kay Fisher, mother of European Tour pro Oliver Fisher. “It’s just such a relaxed atmosphere. It’s a lot different from Wentworth.”
Tickets at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth last week cost £40. Dogs weren’t allowed. Man’s best friend was most welcome at Walton Heath. The club wouldn’t have it any other way.
As with many traditional English golf clubs, Walton Heath members are allowed to take their canine chums onto the fairways. So it was no surprise to see couples out strolling the fairways with dogs on leads.
Walton Heath is on common land, which means exactly what it says on the tin – land for the common people. The club has to share the course with walkers, dog walkers, runners, cyclists, picnickers and everyone else who wants to use the land.
Once a year that includes US Open hopefuls.
Secretary Stuart Christie has been at Walton Heath for four years after working at Wentworth. He’s presided over four of the nine U.S. Open qualifiers.
“It’s a great day for us,” Christie said. “The members really embrace it. We get strong fields every year. I mean, this year we have two Ryder Cup captains in Monty and Olazabal.
“I’m not sure how many people turn up because we don’t count heads, but we have 1,400 cars parked, so that gives you an idea. That’s about as big as we want it to get. We want to keep it pretty low key.”
Michael Campbell did the event the power of good at 2005’s inaugural tournament. He qualified at Walton Heath and then went on to win the U.S. Open at Pinehurst. One of the 12 qualifiers might do the same this year, but those fans who turned up at Walton Heath won’t care a lot. They’re just looking forward to next year’s U.S. Open garden party.

TIGER WOODS RETURNING FOR THE TURKISH OPEN

FROM THE SKY SPORTS.COM WEBSITE
Tiger Woods has confirmed he will compete in this season's Turkish Open on the European Tour.
The £4.6m tournament, which starts on November 7, is the third event of four in the Tour's newly-created Final Series.
Woods, who played in the event last year, will be one of 78 players teeing-up at The Montgomerie Maxx Royal course in Antalya in a tournament sponsored by Turkish Airlines.
Tournament promoter Andrew Chandler, of International Sports Management, said: "We almost based the date around which week he (Tiger) could play and this week suited the European Tour and Tiger Woods.
"The other 77 names in the field will not be familiar to Turkish fans but Tiger is.
"To have the world number one there, it always makes it special if a European Tour player can win with Tiger in the field."
The tournament will be staged on the Colin Montgomerie-designed course and held just one week before the season-ending Dubai World Tour Championship.
