European Tour Qualifying Stage 1 Section B

SIX SCOTS SITTING PRETTY WITH
ONE QUALIFYING ROUND TO GO

If they maintain their top 30 position over Friday's final round, then six Scots - amateurs Callum Macaulay and Gavin Dear and professionals Scott Jamieson, Chris Doak, Elliot Saltman and Paul Doherty - will advance from the European Tour First Qualifying Stage Section B event at The Oxfordshire.
Only the top 30 and ties after 72 holes will go on to Stage 2 at four Spanish venues in early November, hoping to make it through to the Final Qualifying School at PGA de Catalunya from November 13 to 18.
Scottish amateur champion Macaulay from Tulliallan failed to break 70 for the first time in three days but a two-under-par score was the next best thing and his aggregate of 203 puts him joint second with Englishman Adam Frayne, two shots behind the new leader, Open amateur hero Chris Wood.
Wood returned a 66 for 15-under-par 201.
Glasgow's Scott Jamieson had a 69 to be joint fourth on 204.
Tartan Tour kingpin Chris Doak is on 207 after a best-yet 67 while Elliot Saltman subsided a bit to a 74 for 208 but he is still in the leading 10.
Former Scottish boys' match-play champion Paul Doherty had a 69 for 209, the same tally as Murrayshall's Gavin Dear who improved on his first two days' efforts with a 68.
Five under par is the projected cut-off point for the leading 30 and Kings Links tour pro Scott Henderson and Scottish amateur stroke-play champion Wallace Booth (Comrie) need to score 70 or under at the last time of asking to have a chance of advancing.
Both are on three-under 213, Henderson after a 69, a seven-shot improvement on his Wednesday score, and Booth after a 74. Wallace's scores are sliding. He needs to stop the rot if he is not to miss the chance of keeping his pro hopes alive.
Former Northern Open champion Jason McCreadie (Buchanan Castle) and Carnoustie amateur international Keir McNicol beat the third-day cut with nothing to spare on the two-over-par 218 mark. Both matched the par of 72 in the third round.
Eliminated were Murray Urquhart from Inverness with a 78 for 225 and Christopher Campbell (Carnegie Club) with a 75 for 229.
