DUNBAR TOUR PRO JOINT SIXTH, SIX SHOTS OFF THE PACE WITH A ROUND TO GO

FENWICK, NICOL LEAD SCOTS' CHASE

FOR £10,000 EUROPRO TOUR PRIZE

Dunbar's Neil Fenwick, joint sixth with a round to go, and Fraserburgh's Kris Nicol (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre), just outside the top 10, are best plaed after 36 holes of the PGA EuroPro Tour event,  the Dawson and Sanderson Travel Classic at Longhirst Hall Golf Club, Morpeth in Northumberland.
But generally it's been a so-so tournament for the Scots who made the trip over the Border in the quest for the £10,000 first prize: eight of them made the cut at four-over 148 and better while for another  12 Scots the tournament is over.
Favourite for the jackpot prize is Englishman Wilm Harrold, a former US college circuit player.
The Norfolk-based player has shot 70-67 for seven-under 137 and leads by three shots from Wales' Bradley Dredge.
Harrold (Sheringham Golf Club) won the opening event of the season, the Matchroom Championship at The Belfry, and a second win would see him close in on securing a Challenge Tour card for 2015, which is awarded to the top five on the HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour’s Order of Merit. Heavy rain made for difficult conditions at Longhirst Hall.
