On the face of it Neil Fenwick is a hot favourite to win the £6,000 first pro prize in the Tomatin Single Malt 54-hole pro-am which ends tomorrow (Thursday) with the final rounds at Royal Dornoch (par 70), Nairn (par 71) and Castle Stuart (par 72).
The Dunbar man is on 133 - three strokes ahead of Gavin Hay (Nairn Dunbar) and four clear of the joint third-placed Paul O'Hara (Clydeway Golf) and Stephen Gray (Hayston).
But it is not quite so clear-cut as that.
Fenwick leads but he is eight under par after that brilliant seven-under 63 at Royal Dornoch on Tuesday followed by a one-under 70 at Nairn today.
He finishes his campaign at Castle Stuart.
Hay, the Scottish young professionals champion, is only one behind in accumulative par terms - seven under par after a three-under 68 at Nairn in the first round and a very good four-under 68 at Castle Stuart today.
Hay finishes at Royal Dornoch.
O'Hara is by no means out of the hunt with rounds of 68-69 for 137. On the same mark is Stephen Gray (70-67) who certainly knows what it takes to win this tournament.
This is only the third year of the "Tomatin" and Gray is bidding for a hat-trick of triumphs.
