 Neil, Law, Kellett and Henry on track to 

survive four-round cut at Final Tour School
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Blairgowrie's Bradley Neil, the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre pair, David Law and Ross Kellett, and Scott Henry are on track be among the leading 70 and ties who will survive the 72-hole cut at the European Tour School's Final Qualifying Stage at PGA Catalunya, near Girona in North-east Spain.

But the three other Scots in the field of 156 - Peter Whiteford, Grant Forrest and Craig Lee - are outside the leading 100 after two rounds.
Neil, pictured left, is lying joint 19th on 136 after rounds of 64 and 72. His par-matching second-round at the tougher Stadium Course included an eagle 3, two birdies and four bogeys.
Aberdonian Law, who won his Stage 2 event last week, is joint 27th on 137 with scores of 66 and 71. His second round effort at the Stadium Course included a double bogey 6 at the ninth but David kept his cool and five birdies keep him well in the hunt.
Kellett added bogey-free, four-under-par 66 at the shorter Tour course for a tally of 138 and share of 35th place.
Henry had a double bogey at the short fifth on the Stadium Course and signed for a three-over 75 but his six-under 64 on the Tour Course on Saturday softened the blow and he is tied 54th on 139.
Whiteford improved by eight strokes with a two-under 68 at the Tour course for 144 but he is joint 122nd and has to improve by more than 50 places over the third and fourth rounds if he is to make the cut.
Walker Cup player Grant Forrest, who played so well at his Stage 2 venue, needs to find that kind form quickly. He is joint 129th on 145 after rounds of 74 and 71.
Craig Lee is under the most pressure. He is the worst placed Scot of the seven, tied 138th on 146 after rounds of 72 and 74.
