ONLY NINE SCOTS WILL BEAT CUT TO LEADING 50 AND TIES

ELLIOT SALTMAN SHARES LEAD AS

MONTROSE EVENT CUT TO 2 ROUNDS

Elliot Saltman (Archerfield Links) and Englishmen Jason Timms (Wychwood Park) and Steve Uzzell (Hornsea) head a field of 153 players with 28 players still to finish their first rounds in  the Eagle Orchid Scottish Masters event on the PGA EuroPro Tour at Montrose Links.
The scheduled 54-hole tournament, hit by fog on the first day and misty rain on the second, has been cut to 36 holes.
A total of 28 players will resume their uncompleted first 18 holes at 6.30am Wednesday morning.
There will then be a cut to the leading 50 and ties who will contest the final round for the £10,000 first prize in a £40,000 tournament.
Each player's entry fee is £275 and there are 153 in the field. 
Saltman played only six holes - but birdied four of them - before the first major suspension of play on Tuesday. He birdied the 10th when he finally did get restarted today and was five under par until he came off the rails with successive bogeys at the 15th, 16th and 17th. 
He needed a birdie at the last - and got it - to secure a share of the pole position at three under par.
Timms was six under par with three to play but had a bogey at the 16th and a double bogey at the 17th in halves of 33-35. Uzzell had a consistent 34-34.
Only nine Scots look like qualifying for the second and final round - Elliot Saltman, David Law (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) and Fraser McKenna (Balmore) on the par 71 mark, and Paul Doherty (Vale Hotel), Callum Macaulay, Wallace Booth (Comrie) on 73, and, on the limit mark of 74, Zack Saltman (Archerfield Links), Ross Cameron (Saltire Energy) and Neil Fenwick (Dunbar).
