Sandy Scott shares St Andrews Trophy lead 

with one round to go over Old Course 

                                       Sandy Scott, bogeyed the 17th Road Hole on Old Course today.

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Seventeen-year-old Sandy Scott from Nairn could be on the verge of his biggest victory so far ... he is joint leader with Irishman Conor O'Rourke with one round to go over the Old Course in the prestigious St Andrews Links Trophy.
Scott, who will enrol on a four-year course at Texas Tech University in August, has had rounds of 68 (New) and 67 (Old) and 70 (Old) for a 10-under-par tally of 205.
Sandy, winner of the Scottish U18 boys' stroke play title last year as well as an SGU 72-hole men's order of merit event, the East of Scotland Open at Lundin Links, bogeyed the 17th in his third round or he could have had the pole position to himself.
Scott is spearheading an excellent tournament for Scots. Former British boys champion Ewen Ferguson (Bearsden) is one behind the leaders after a 70 for 206.
Liam Johnston (Dumfries and County) is fourth with a 72 for 208, while Craig Howie (72), Calum Fyfe (71) and Jamie Savage (Cawder) (71), are tied fifth on 209.
