SCOTS IN TOP BRACKET OF MCGREGOR TROPHY FIRST-ROUND SCORES

Three Scots are in the top 15 at the end of the first round against the best Under-16 boy golfers in England and farther afield in the English junior championship for the McGregor Trophy at Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club, Lancashire.
James Foster (Waterlooville) and Spain’s Hugo Menendez are the pacemakers on two-under-par 70, four shots under the CSS.

Wet and windy weather at Southport & Ainsdale made it difficult for the 135 competitors. But it didn’t prevent Foster and Menendez from shooting two-under-par 70 to share the lead. They were the only players to beat par in conditions that were tough to handle and even if the pair did get the better of the weather late in the day, their returns were nothing short of superb. They are two strokes ahead of Max Smith from Newbury Racecourse who showed he is a true thoroughbred by returned a fine 72.

Foster, 15, the Hampshire junior champion and junior champion at his club, Waterlooville, had an eagle and four birdies in his 70. What made it even more creditable was that he was two over par after three holes. “It was very windy and we had a lot of rain during the round but you just had to keep going,” he said. “They are not my favourite conditions but you just have to grin and bear it. However, the greens were superb and the course is quality.”

Menendez, a 16 year old under 16 cap from Gijon, had five birdies in his 70 crafted in totally un-Spanish weather. “It was not easy,” he said. “I missed the cut last year so this is better.”

Christopher Robb from Inchmarlo, Banchory and David Law, from Hazlehead, the Aberdeen municipal course, were both on the 74 mark, one ahead of Andrew McLachlan from Eastwood.
McLachlan, picture above by courtesy of TOM WARD, had the potentially unsettling experience of hitting a pigeon in flight with his first shot of the day at the par-3 opening hole.

It was thought at first that the bird had been killed but it had "only" been stunned. After being revived by some spectators, it was last seen flying off in the direction of Royal Birkdale.
Paul McPhee (King James VI) holed a putt on the last green to break 80 with a 79.
Tom Blennerhassett (Dalmhoy) and Daniel Young from the Craigie Hill club, Perth both had 81s. Matthew Reid (Downfield) and Aberdonian William Russell, the 15-year-old MEN’S champion of The Duke’s club at St Andrews both scored 83, one ahead of Colin Baird (Bothwell Castle).
Ian Redford (King James VI) had an 85 and Jack Scott of Deeside an 86.

Mark Barnard of the Inchmarlo Golf Resort at Banchory is in second place with a 69.
The field will be reduced to 40 and ties at the end of Thursday’s second round.

US OPEN WINNER CABRERA IS NAMED EURO
TOUR PLAYER OF MONTH

Angel Cabrera has been named as the European Tour Golfer of the month for June following his victory at Oakmont Country Club, where he became the first Argentine winner of the US Open championship.
Cabrera shot a final round of 69, one of only two rounds under par on the final day, for a five over par total of 285, one better than Tiger Woods and another former winner, Jim Furyk.
His victory was only the second Major success for an Argentine golfer, following Roberto de Vicenzo’s Open championship triumph at Royal Liverpool in 1967.
“I am very happy with all this recognition which gives me strength to keep playing at the highest level,” said Cabrera. “This win was very important, especially as it had been 40 years since another Argentine won a Major so hopefully my US Open win will be a big boost for golf in Argentina.
“The Golfer of the Month award is very important to me. The European Tour is my home. I have been here since 1996 and feel very comfortable here.”

OPEN REGIONAL QUALIFYING

NEIL MURRAY AND THAT MAN DUNCAN

STEWART AGAIN RELEGATE CALLUM

MACAULAY TO THIRD AT MUSSELBURGH

Scottishgolfview.com's roving reporter HUGH HUNTER was at Musselburgh Golf Club today for the Scottish venue on today's wide-ranging programme of 18-hole regional qualifying competitions for the Open championship.

Hugh saw Callum Macaulay bounce back very well indeed from having to settle for second place behind Duncan Stewart in the weekend East of Scotland Open at Lundin Links.
Macaulay posted an early score of four-under-par 67 which stayed unchallenged at the top of the scoreboard for many hours before, late in the day, he was relegated to an honourable third in the huge field of professionals and amateurs.

Neil Murray (Cruden Bay), pictured above, and that man Duncan Stewart again both shot five-under-par 66s.

Callum birdied the second and fourth and reached the turn in two-under-par 34.
His only slip for a bogey came at the short 11th where he was bunkered.
Macaulay responded in the style of a very good player by holing birdie putts of six and 12 feet at the 13th and 14th. The Tulliallan member capped his rough with a birdie 4 at the long last, which he reduced to a drive, two-iron, a pitch and an eight-foot putt.
In the end the leading 20 players, their scores spanning 66 to 72, qualified for the 36-hole Final Qualifying. Former British boys champion Jordan Findlay (Fraserburgh) was the only player who returned a 72 to make. He came through a card countback against eight other players on the one-over-par mark.

CELTIC TOUR PRESS RELEASE

QUALITY FIELD FOR CARMARTHERNSHIRE OPEN

A high quality field including European Tour, Asian Tour, Challenge Tour and EuroPro Tour players heads for the Carmarthenshire Open at Garnant next week.
The event – the latest on the Dragon Tour, Wales’ first pro golf tour - marks the first professional event to be held at Garnant Park.
The Tour, now rebranded as the Celtic Pro Tour, rolls into Garnant Park next Tuesday and Wednesday, July 10 and 11.
Stuart Manley (ISM/Mountain Ash), who won the last event of the 2006 season at Machynys, and was runner up in the first event of this season at Pyle and Kenfig, has entered the event at the local authority run course.
He is in good form and is fresh from pocketing 14,300 euros as runner up in last weekend’s Challenge Tour event, the Estoril Challenge de Portugal, following a four-round total of 9 under par.
That event immediately followed another solid performance by Manley at the Open de Saint Omer in France, a European Tour event, in which he made the cut and finished in 38th position, collecting another 3,100 euros in the process.
Asian Tour professional Craig Smith (St Mellons) is also in the field at Garnant - back in the UK after spending the first part of this year travelling throughout the sub-continent while competing in 11 events, so far returning him $40,092.
Currently lying in 57th place in the Asian Tour Order of Merit, Smith’s best result to date has been eighth in the Singapore Masters in March.
Making his season’s debut on the Celtic Pro Tour is Adam Constable, who has already successfully defended his Ryder Cup Wales 2010 Welsh Open Young PGA Professional Championship title at Aberdovey Golf Club in April. Europro Tour professional Matthew Dearden (www.vale-hotel.com) is also in the field.
These golfers will face stiff opposition from last season’s Dragon Tour Order of Merit winner, Alex Smith (Pyle & Kenfig), who is fresh from three top 10 finishes on the EuroPro Tour and a Celtic Pro Tour win at Gower in June, and fellow EuroPro Tour golfer and former Welsh and Portuguese Amateur Champion, David Price (Aber Wrought Iron / www.vale-hotel.com).
Last week’s winner at Machynys, Matthew Griffiths (Whitchurch), current Order of Merit leader, Tom Davies (Machynys Peninsula) and consistent Alun Evans (Newport Links) will all have a big say in the tournament.
Carmarthenshire County Council Executive Board Member for Leisure Services Clive Scourfield said: “It’s brilliant to see Garnant winning the recognition it deserves. I am confident this will be the first of many big occasions for the parkland course.”
The Carmarthenshire County Course is managed by Kerry Jones who said he was thrilled that Garnant was going to be on the schedule of the developmental professional tour. He said: “We have made quite a name for ourselves and have been recognised in the golfing world for the high standards of course preparation and a true test for golf professionals.”
Tour Director Rhydian Thomas said: “We welcome spectators free of charge at our events , so anyone wanting to come along and watch quality professional golf on their doorstep, they will be made most welcome.”
The Tour, which also encompasses visits to Ireland and Scotland, for four events under the new brand, the Celtic Pro Tour, has 11 events in Wales from June to October.
Entries are still being taken for the event and professional golfers or scratch handicap amateurs wishing to enter the Carmarthenshire Open are asked to contact Rhydian Thomas on 07861 686568 or register and pay online at the website at www.celticpro.com by 5pm on Sunday, July 8.
Professional entry is £99, plus £50 for non members. Amateur golfers with a scratch handicap or better can also enter at a cost of £55, and don’t need to pay membership. Prize money at the event will be:
Winner £1,000
Runner Up £500
3rd £250
4th £150
5th £100
A voucher will be available to the leading amateur.

ENGLISH GOLF UNION PRESS RELEASE

ENGLAND SENDING TOP BOY PROSPECTS
TO EUROPEAN YOUNG MASTERS

Two of the England's brightest prospects, Eddie Pepperell (Drayton Park) and Oscar Sharpe (Minchinhampton), will represent England in the European Young Masters tournament at Golf de Bondues in France from July 26 to 28.
Both are members of the English Golf Union’s training squads, Pepperell of the under 18s while Sharpe is included in the under 16s, and both will be heading for France after representing England in the European boys' team championships in Denmark next week.
Pepperell, 16, from BB&O, won the English Under 14 title in 2005 and was runner-up to Sharpe in last year’s English Under-16 championship. He represented England at under-16 level before making his debut at boys level in last year’s boys home internationals. He played in South Africa earlier this year before losing a playoff for the Hampshire Hog, finishing tied fourth in the McEvoy Trophy.
Sharpe, who won't be 15 until September, is one of the youngest players ever to represent England at boys' level, having made his debut for the under-16 team in last year’s match with Spain at Heswell. The Gloucestershire lad had a triumphant 2006, winning the under 14, 15 and 16 national titles as well as the Douglas Johns Trophy and the North of England boys' championship. He also won the Gloucestershire under 15, 16 and 18 titles. The Millfield Schoolboy has enjoyed top-10 finishes in the Selborne and Hampshire Salvers and the McEvoy Trophy this year before winning the Ashton Vase at Long Ashton recently.
The European Young Masters includes a girls' competition - ELGA is sending Alex Peters from Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire’s Helen Searle - with a Nations Cup covering both, three of the four cards each day to count.
+++There has been no indication from the Scottish Golf Union or the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association about whether or not they are sending players to the European Young Masters.
