Paul O'Hara takes a three-shot lead into 

P and H Championship final round


By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Overnight leader Louis Gaughan (Bathgate)  started the second round of the Tartan Tour's £50,000 P and H Championship with a two-stroke lead and finished it nine strokes adrift of the new leader, Paul O'Hara (Clydeway Golf), pictured.

Gaughan followed a sparkling five-under 66 with a dismal 79, which included a double bogey 5 at the short ninth and eight bogeys, as well as two birdies in halves of 45-37 for a 36-hole tally of 145 at Renaissance Club, between Gullane and North Berwick.
At least the Bathgate boy figured among the 45 qualifiers with totals of 148 and better who qualified for Wednesday's final round.
Biggest name among the non-qualifiers in a starting field of 126?
Probably Downfield senior Kenny Hutton with 77-72 to miss the cut by one.
O'Hara, after a disappointing one-over 37 to the turn, got into top gear after the turn, birdieing the 10th, 12th, 13th and 17th for 31 home and a repeat of  his first-day 68 for six-under 139. The Clydeway Golf man leads by three shots from Irishman Brendan McGovern (69-70) and  Christopher Currie (Caldwell) (69-70), one of the most consistent performers on the Tartan Tour.
Don't rule out Greig Hutcheon yet! The Paul Lawrie Golf Centre Inchmarlo man - who is due to tee it up in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth on Thursday - shot a 69 for 140 to be fourth on the leaderboard - four off the pace - as he bids to make it three Tartan Tour wins in a row.

He won the Largs and West Dunbartonshire pro-ams last Friday-Saturday.
Defending champion Paul Robinson (Largs) is on 147 (75-72) as is new Senior PGA champion Robert Arnott (Bishopbriggs), winner of the P and H title in 2014.
