Golf Data Lab Scottish youths championship report, scores

Thurlow hangs on to lead by two with two 

rounds to go at Irvine tomorrow

Murrayfield's first-round record-breaker Alastair Thurlow took eight shots more on the second day but a two-over-par 73 for 138 was good enough to send him into the final day's 36 holes at Irvine Golf Club with a lead of two shots in the Golf Data Lab Scottish youths championship

Two Norwegians from the Fana club, Jarand Ekeland Arnoy (69-140) and Lars Mjeldheim Sandvoll (68-142), moved up menacingly to lurk in second and joint third place at the end of the second round.

Two Scots share third place with Mjeldheim - Ben Murray (Portlethen) and Callum Cochrane (Marriott Dalmahoy).

Murray has had steady rounds of 72-70 while Cochrane has been even steadier with a pair of par 71s.

The field came down to the leading 40 and ties at the end of play today. Those with aggregates of 150 and higher were cut.

The CSS so far has been 73 73.
