Scots relegated to lower placings in their own 

Nick Faldo Series Qualifier


By COLIN FARQUHARSON
As feared, the loophole in the Nick Faldo Junior Series qualifying competitions for the Grand Final, which allows any nationality to play in any qualifier anywhere, saw the Scots crowded out by "outsiders" in the Scottish qualifying 54-hole tournament at The Duke's Course, St Andrews.
Brad Robinson, from just over the border at Close House Golf Club, Northumberland, finished two strokes clear of the boys' field in which an Australian finished second, a Dubai player third and an Indian fourth.
Robinson shot 73, 73 and 70 for three-over-par 216.
The leading Scots were Jack Currie (Greenock) and Lewis Fenn (Dunbar) who finished joint fifth with a New Zealander on 226.
It was much the same story in the girls' event with Daphne Van Houten from the Netherlands winning by four strokes with rounds of 75, 77 and 77 for 16-over-par 229.
Louise Duncan (West Kilbride) was runner-up on 233, Carinne Taylor (Nairn) third on 235 and Molly Richmond (Strathaven) fourth on 240.
