NEWS RELEASE
By NICK TEALE
Neil Fenwick, pictured right by courtesy of the sponsors, will take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the Eagle Orchid Scottish Masters at Montrose Links.
The
Dunbar Golf Club representative carded a two-under-par 69 for this
second round in the HotelPlanner.com PGA EuroPro Tour event to take his
tournament score to nine under,
one ahead of compatriot Scott Crichton.
Darryn
Lloyd, who shared the seven-under 18-hole lead with Fenwick, carded
level-par 71 on day two and is one of four players sharing third on
seven under par.
Play
during Wednesday afternoon was suspended for two hours 50 minutes due
to lightning and round two was finally completed when the last group
putted out at 10:20pm, the
light summer nights of east Scotland proving crucial in allowing the round to
be completed without falling into Thursday.
Fenwick managed to avoid the afternoon weather delay having teed off at 7:41am. He made three birdies in his round, at the 5th going out and at 15 and 18 coming
in, his three at the last making amends for a bogey at the 17th.
Crichton
(Aberdour Golf Club) signed for a five-under-par second-round 66 to
move to eight under and second. The Scot was par for the round at the
turn after bogeys at 2
and 8 equalised birdies at 6 and 7. However, a birdie at 10 and a
four-hole run of par breakers from the 13th saw him come home in 30.
Christopher
Evans (Wishaw Golf Club), Paul Reed (Bristol and Clifton Golf Club),
Tom Perry (Abbeydale Golf Club) and Lloyd (Stamford Marquees) share
third on seven under, two
behind Fenwick. Reed and Perry shared the day’s best score of 65 on the
par-71 Medal Course.
A
cut to the leading 50 players plus ties has now been made with those
golfers one under par or better after 36 holes progressing to play
Thursday’s final round, which will
be filmed for a two-hour highlights package to air on Sky Sports on
Tuesday, July 14.
