FROM EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS

Fernando Figueroa of El Salvador made the biggest move on day three of the First Qualifying Stage Section C at Bogogno as an eight under par 64 put him right on the qualifying mark with a round to go. 

While Alessio Bruschi of Italy, who has led from the start, was joined at the top by Swiss amateur Joel Girrbach at 14 under par, all eyes are on who will finish among the top 24 and ties to progress to the second stage.

And it was Figueroa who caught the eye as he rattled in nine birdies and dropped just one shot to climb from tied 70^th to tied 24^th with a round 14 shots better than the previous day. 

More than 200 players have been competing at Bogogno GC in Italy and Ribagolfe in Portugal with the top 24 and ties from both venues qualifying.

On a tough day at Ribagolfe, only one player broke 70 during the third round of the First Qualifying Stage Section C with American Daniel Berger taking over the front running after Belgium’s Thomas Pieters went from five ahead to three behind after a third round 80. He remains well on course to qualify for the Second Stage, however, with the top 24 and ties after tomorrow’s final round progressing.

ANDREW OLDCORN PUTS UP A TROPHY - AND THEN WINS IT!

                                      ANDREW OLDCORN

FROM ALAN GREENSHIELDS

EDINBURGH AND EAST OF SCOTLAND GOLFERS ALLIANCE

 E-mail: secretary.eesga@talktalk.net

The second outing of the season, at King's Acre,  was completed  despite the early morning challenge from fog and added challenge of rain later in the morning.

A total of 85 members competed for a new trophy presented for play by Andrew Oldcorn. 

Ross Neill (Drumpellier), for the second week running, threw down the gauntlet by carding a 68 in the difficult conditions but was beaten into second place again by a 66 but this time via trophy donor Oldcorn whose card recorded a superb back nine of 30. 

Not only did Andrew secure the top scratch prize but his 66 was enough to secure his name as first on the new trophy despite a late challenge from David Nicolson (Craigielaw) on nett 67.

Top three scratch prizes were won by:  

1. Andrew Oldcorn (Kings Acre) 66

2. Ross Neill (Drumpelier) 68

3. Stuart Pardoe (unatt) 70

Special mention goes to Stuart Pardoe who helped secure 3rd spot thanks to a superb 6 iron shot at the 14th which resulted in a hole in one.

Top three handicap prizewinners were:

1. David Nicolson (Craigielaw) 67 (71 less 4)

2. Iain Wilson (Longniddry) 69 (71 less 2)

3. Stuart Wardlaw (Harburn) 70 (83 less 13)

Top Senior prize went to new member Ken Clarke (Uphall) with a net 71 (84 less 13)

After two events the Order of Merits are as follows -

Scratch

1. Ross Neill (Drumpellier) - 118 points

2. Louis Gaughan (Bathgate) - 111 points

3= Duncan Martin (Longniddry) - 106.5 points

3= Iain Wilson (Longniddry) - 106.5 points

Handicap 

1. Stuart Wardlaw (Harburn) - 42.5 points

2. Darren Love (Archerfield) - 39 points

3. Iain Wilson (Longniddry) - 37 points

Next outing is on October 16 at Royal Musselburgh.
