ALPS TOUR MASTERS IN FRANCE REPORT, LEADING SCORES

KRIS NICOL ONLY SCOT SURVIVE CUT

Fraserburgh's Kris Nicol was the only Scot to survive the second-round cut in the Alps Tour Masters at Golf de Pont Royal in France.

The Paul Lawrie Golf Centre player shot a pair of 74s for four-over-par 148 and a share of 34th place. He beat the cut by one shot but Michael Stewart (74-76 for 150), John Henry (76-74 for 150) and James White (80-74 for 154) were not so fortunate.

Nicol put pressure on himself with a double bogey 7 at the 18th

Spain's Eduardo Larranga leads by four shots after rounds of 65 and 72 for seven-under-par 137
