European Challenge Tour Event 2 in South America

LONE SCOT McLEARY IN TOP
20 WITH ONE ROUND TO GO

Jamie McLeary, the only Scot to survive the halfway cut, was lying 19th equal on level par 213 as the Abiero Mexicano Corona – the second event on the 2006-2007 European Challenge Tour – entered its final round at Club de Golf La Hacienda near Mexico City.
McLeary, pictured right, found birdies hard to come by in his third round of one-over-par 72. His first and only sub-par figure came at the 18th but he did restrict his bogeys to the third and fifth.
Jamie is seven shots behind the leader, Felipe Aguilar (Chile).
The leading British player is Walker Cup man Robert Dinwiddie, winner of the Scottish open amateur stroke play championship at Balgownie last year. He is in joint 17th place on 212 after a third-round 68.
