World men's amateur team championship news
SCOTLAND IN JOINT NINTH PLACE
AT END OF FIRST DAY
Scotland finished the first day of the world men's amateur team championship for the Eisenhower Trophy in South Africa in a respectable joint ninth position on level par 144, the same as Wales.
Canada (139) are the pacesetters - two shots ahead of Netherlands and France.
Ireland are joint 17th on 146.
Surprisingly, England, always quoted as one the favourties, could do no better than a team score of 149 which left them 10 shots off the pace and in a share of 32nd place with teams such as the Russian Federation, Namibia and El Salvador.
Only two of a team's three individuals have their score counting each round.
For Scotland, it was US amateur champion Richie Ramsay from Royal Aberdeen with a 72 and former Scottish amateur title-winner George Murray (Earlsferry Thistle), also with a 72.
Scott Jamieson (Cathkin Braes) looked as if he were going to have a counting return until he lost his way on the inward half, which cost him 41 shots. Scott finished on 78.
