Scots in contention but need something special in final round

O'Hara and Hutcheon need sub-par finishes 

to win PGA £10,000 prize


By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Paul Hara and Greig Hutcheon need sub-par scores in the final round if either is to topple long-time leader James Freeman (Retford) over the final round and take the £10,000 first prize out of the Englishman's  grasp in the PGA Professional Championship at Little Aston Golf Club, Sutton Coldfield.
O'Hara is joint second on 205 (67-68-70), three behind Freeman (67-67-68), while Hutcheon is on 206 (67-68-70).
Hutcheon had five third-round birdies but also a double bogey 6 and two bogeys while o'Hara made his task just that little bit more difficult by bogeying the 18th.
