Perthshire player in joint 16th place in field of 88
CALIFORNIA DREAMING ... WALLACE
BOOTH HAS AN EIGHT
BIRDIE DAY AT SAN MARTIN
Scottish youths champion of 2004, Wallace Booth from Comrie, a final-year student at Augusta State University, was lying in joint 16th place in a field of 88 at the end of the first day of the Corde Valle Collegiate golf tournament at San Martin, California.
Wallace, 21, pictured right, had rounds of 72 and 70 for a two-under-par tally of 140 over a long course by British amateur standards – 7,119yd with a par of 72.
He spread his eight birdies for the day evenly over the two rounds and would have done even better but for stumbling at the 17th and 18th holes, both morning and afternoon. He bogeyed them both in the first round and bogeyed the 17th again in the second.
Leader by two strokes with one round to go is Zack Miller from Stanford University, California – Alma Mater for Tiger Woods and Mhairi McKay - with 72 and 63 for nine-under-par 135.
