BORROWMAN HAS CHANCE OF BACK-TO-BACK

VICTORIES TO START HIS PRO CAREER

Dollar's Scott Borrowman, bidding to start his professional golf career with back-to-back wins in Egypt, leads by two strokes with one round to go in the PGA Mediterranean Tour's 54-hole event over the Jack Nicklaus-designed Palm Hills course near Cairo, writes Colin Farquharson.

Borrowman has shot 71-73 for a level par tally of 144.

His nearest rival is the Spaniard he beat in a title play-off last week, Xavi Puig who lost his overnight lead with rounds of 68-78 for 146.

Austrian H P Bacher, second overnight on 70, had a calamitous second-round 85 to drop well down with a tally of 155.
