DAVID LAW SHOOTS A 68 AFTER FROST DELAY AT
MARRAKECH, MOROCCO!
If you think they don't suffer winter temperatures down in Africa, think again! writes Colin Farquharson.
The second round of the German PGA developmental tour's Al Maaden Open at Marrakech, Morocco (in North Africa) started 75min late after a severe overnight FROST!
Ted Innes Kerr was one of those who could not finish his second round before darkness halted play for the day. He had a 70 in the first-round.
Best effort by a Scot came from Northern Open champion David Law (pictured) who shot a four-under-par 68 to join rookie pro Chris Robb from Banchory in 12th place on five-under 139.
Paul Lawrie Golf Centre representative Law birdied the first, long, fourth, ninth, long 13th, 14th and shot 16th. He came storming home in only 33 shots. His two bogeys came at early par-3 holes, the third and sixth.
Robb, last year's Scottish amateur champion, had a 71, coming back from an outward half of 38 to birdie the 13th, 14th, 16th and 18th for a bogey-free inward half of 33.
Portlethen youngster Sam Kiloh shot a 73 - three birdies, four bogeys - for a share of 32nd place on 141.
Two Paul Lawrie players did not make it through to Saturday's third and final round - Ellon's Ross Cameron was six over the limit with a 74 for 148 and Peterhead's Philip McLean had a 79 for 152.
At the top of the leaderboard it's all over bar the shouting. Frenchman Alexandre Kaleka is six shots clear with a brilliant 17-under-par tally of 127, made up of rounds of 62 and 65.
