TITLE-HOLDER LEADING IN SUENO DUNES CLASSIC

TURKISH DELIGHT FOR DAVID LAW

David Law (pictured above) has an excellent chance of retaining the title in the Sueno Dunes Classic at Belek, Turkey but rookie Craig Lawrie, making his debut on the German PGA Developmental Pro Tour, missed the 36-hole cut by a wide margin.
Aberdonian Law, the 2011 Northern Open champion who will be campaigning on the Challenge Tour from March onwards, tagged a two-under 67 (33-34) to his opening 65 and a 132 tally has him one shot ahead of Portugal's Tiago Cruz and Faycal Serghini (Morocco) going into the final round.
Law birdied the sixth, 14th, 15th and 18th, dropping shots at the 10th and short 17th.
Other Paul Lawrie Golf Centre stablemates to make it through to the last day are Peterhead's Philip McLean (67 for 139, which included an eagle 2 at the third,  and joint 28th place), Fraserburgh's Jordan Findlay  (33rd on 140 after a 68) and Kris Nicol (jt 36th after a 70 for 142.
Nicol made the cut on the limit mark as did Pollok's Conor O'Neil who birdied the 14th, 15th and 16th on his way to a second-round 72.
Anglo-Scot Brad Hannah (Workington) missed out by a shot with a 74 for 143 while Paul Lawrie's elder son Craig Lawrie, playing as a pro outside Scotland for the first time, had only four par figures in a nightmare second round of 81 (39-42) for 160, 18 strokes above the cut mark.
Teenager Craig, on a huge learning curve, can and will play a lot better as he gains experience and his team-mates in Turkey will keep his spirits up for the next event.
