CLYDEWAY GOLF PAIR SHARING LEAD AT START OF 54-HOLE EVENT

P and H CHAMPIONSHIP 
Dundonald Links

Clydeway Golf Performance Centre's Graham Fox and Paul O'Hara gave the Uddingston driving range a boost today by sharing the lead with Christopher Currie (Caldwell), last year's Scottish Alliance champon, on the four-under-par 68 mark in the opening round of the new 54-hole event on the Tartan Tour, the £3,500 P and H Championship, at Dundonald Links.
Former Scottish PGA champion Fox (34-34) and O'Hara (32-36) had seven birdies and three bogeys apiece. 
Currie's highlight in halves of 32-36 was an eagle 3 at the par-5 fifth.
The leading trio are one shot ahead of Bathgate's Louis Gaughan (36-33) and Robert Arnott (Bishopbriggs (36-33) in a field of 113 competitors. Gaughan had to work hard to make up for a double bogey 6 at the eighth but he finished with a bag of six birdies, four of them over the last seven holes. 
Arnott bogeyed two of the first four holes but covered the last 14 with a bogey-free four under par.
There are prize categories for trainees, club pros and seniors over the first 36 holes.
