ONE ROUND TO GO IN EUROPEAN TOUR Q SCHOOL STAGE 1

GREAT SCOTT! AMATEUR BORROWMAN

SHARES KELSO LEAD WITH FENWICK

A brilliant, seven-under-par round of 65 lifted Dollar amateur Scott Borrowman (pictured) up into a share of the lead with Dunbar tour pro Neil Fenwick on 12-under-par 204 with one round to go in the European Tour Qualifying School Stage 1 event at the Roxburghe course, Kelso.

England's Mark Young is another amateur in the mix. He had a 69 for 209 and shared third place with compatriot Jamie Moul who had a 66.

Elliot Saltman leapfrogged over younger brother Lloyd with a 65 for eighth place on 209 - one shot ahead of Lloyd who had a repeat 73 for 210.

Only the leading 17 and ties after Friday's final round will advance to Stage 2 at one of four venues in Spain.

The third-round cut spelled the end of European Tour dreams for another year for former Walker Cup player and two-time Northern Open champion James Byrne, who flew home to Scotland from his Thailand base from where he plays on the Asian Development Tour.

Those who failed to make the 219 cut-off mark included former Scottish youths champion, US-based Joel Hendry (227), Paul Lawrie's older son Craig (227) and another from the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre stable, former British boys champion Jordan Findlay (229)
