PAUL LAWRIE ONLY TWO SHOTS

 

 OFF PACE IN SOUTH AFRICA

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Paul Lawrie is in joint 11th place, but only two strokes behind four joint leaders, with one round to do in the South African Sunshine Tour's Dimension Data pro-am at the Montagu Courses, Fancourt.

Lawrie has had three rounds of 69, the last of which today (Sat) was bogey free. His second 69 was over a par-73 links course.

The Aberdonian is on 10-under-par 207.

Sharing the lead on 12-under 205 are England's Chris Lloyd and three South Africans, George Coetzee, Chris Swanepoel and Jean Hugo.

Blairgowrie's Bradley Neil made the cut after a 74 for 216 but compatriots Ross Kellett and David Law missed out on 218.
