EUROPEAN TOUR FINAL Q SCHOOL

BRAVE RECOVERIES BY WHITEFORD  

(66) AND BOOTH (65) IN ROUND TWO

Peter Whiteford and Wallace Booth, who both made a potentially disastrous start to the European Tour Final Qualifying School on Saturday, still have a chance of making the first cut to the leading 70 and ties after four rounds at PGA Catalunya, Gerona near Barcelona.
Whiteford shot a second-round 66 on Sunday - 11 shots better than his first round - and is lying joint 73rd on 143.
Booth fired a courageous 65 which was a 15-stroke improvement on his Saturday round of 80. He is joint 102nd on 145.
Leading the five Scots in the field of 156 is Motherwell man Ross Kellett with a pair of 70s for joint 35th place on 140.
Scott Henry is sharing 58th place on 142 (70-72)
Duncan Stewart, the top Scot on Saturday evening after an opening 67, plummeted to joint 73rd place alongside Whiteford after a 76.
