Dunbar tour pro Neil Fenwick, Malcolm Isaacs (Newmachar), Elliot Saltman (Archerfield Links)  are on the 72 mark, sharing 32nd place.
Paul Lawrie's older son Craig came home in 35 with the help of birdies at the 15th and 18th to salvage a 76, the same score as the third Saltman sibling, Zach the youngest.
