PAUL LAWRIE SLIPS OUT OF PORTUGAL LEAD TO THREE SHOTS OFF PACE

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

First-round leader Paul Lawrie slipped down to a share of fifth place after a second-round 73 for five-under-par 139 in the Portugal Pro Tour's Bon Sucesso Classic Grand Final over three rounds at Bom Sucesso Golf Club, Obidos on the Atlantic coastline north of Lisbon.

Lawrie birdied the first and 14th but bogeyed the sixth, ninth and 13th in halves of 38-35 to three shots behind new leader Tiago Cruz (Portugal) who had a 66 for 136 and a one-shot advantage of England's Craig Farrelly (68-68).

Wallace Booth from Comrie, Perthshire is the leading Scot with a pair of 69s for 138 and a share of third place. He staged a grandstand finish with birdies at the 16th, 17th and 18th.

Craig Lawrie, Paul's older son, is in joint seventh position after a 71 for 140. He had four birdies but three bogeys.
