BRUNTSFIELD - LEADER BY THREE
His nearest challenger is Greg Marchbank (Thornhill) on 143 (73-72)
Highlander Jeff Wright from Forres is in third place on 144 with a pair of 72s.
Best round of the day was a second-round 68 by Chris MacLean (Balmore) who led for a long way in the recent North-east District Open at (windy) Peterhead. He is joint eighth on 146.
Drumoig professional's son Connor Syme, who won that 72-hole event, is by no means out of contention at Bruntsfield after a pair of 73s for 146.
