Stewart and Fenwick lead Scots on EuroPro Tour

Michael Stewart, the 2010 Scottish amateur champion whose professional career has yet to get off the launch pad, showed that the skill that made him a Walker Cup-class amateur is still there as he shot  a three-under-par 69 to be joint fourth with compatriot Neil Fenwick in a field of 156 at the end of the first day of this week's PGA EuroPro Toour event at Longhirst Hall Golf club, near Morpeth in the north-east of England.
Ayrshire man Stewart, playing out of Troon Welbeck, had birdies at the second, third, fifth, 10th and 14th with, on the debit side, bogeys at the first and 13th, in halves of 35-35.
Fenwick (Dunbar) came storming home in 32, finishing strongly with birdies at the 15th, 17th and 18th.
Stewart and Fenwick are three shots behind the pacemaker, Sam Connor (Alsager)
Lloyd Saltman (Archerfield Links) will have been disappointed to return a level par 72 because he was two under par with three to play but bogeyed the 16th and 18th.
