Disappointment for Scots on United States mini-tours
RHIND MISSES TEXAS CUT
Uphall’s Leed Rhind had an uncharacteristic, error-strewn second round of seven-over-par 79 to miss the cut by seven strokes in the Tight Lies Tour Winter Series event, Kingwood Classic 2, at Kingwood Golf Club, near Houston, Texas.
Former Scottish boys’ stroke-play champion Rhind, a winner on the PGA EuroPro Tour as well as the American mini-tour circuit, ran up double bogeys at the 11th and 14th and had only one birdie, at the 12th.
Coupled with an opening round of par 72, Lee had a 36-hole tally of 151.
Only 19 players on 144 or better made the cut. American Brett Callas (70-66) led the qualifiers on eight-under-par 136.
But victory in the end went to Connie Pierce after a play-off against Todd Rosetti. They tied on 207, Pierce with 73-67-67 and Rosetti with 67-71-69. Pierce won the $5,625 first prize.
SCOTS MISS CUT IN FLORIDA
Scots David Kirkpatrick from Edinburgh and Paul Cormack from Inchmarlo Golf Centre, Banchory failed to qualify for the final round of the NGA Professional Tour Winter Series event at Southern Dunes Golf Club, Haines City in Florida.
Kirkpatrick, based in Florida, had a second-round 71 for a 36-hole total of three-over par 147.
Cormack scored a 74 for 150.
Matt Every, a member of the winning United States Walker Cup team at Chicago last year, led the qualifiers with scores of 69 and 68 for seven-under-par 137.
Every went on to win the first prize of $12,000 with a final round of 67 for 12-under 204.
He won by two shots from fellow American Jay Woodson ($6,000) who scored 71, 67 and 68 for 206.
