JONES CUP INVITATIONAL
Philip McLean will start final round
in joint fifth place after 81 on Day 2
First-round pacemaker Philip McLean from Peterhead slumped from a first-day, three-under-par 69 to a second-round, nine-over-par 81 for a 36-hole tally of six-over-par 150 in the 54-hole Jones Cup Invitational tournament at the Ocean Forest Golf Club, Sea Island in the United States' state of Georgia.
McLean, winner of the Leven Gold Medal and the North-east Alliance championship last year, took 41 shots for his first nine holes, but he was not alone in that in conditions which, judged by the general level of scoring, were more difficult for good scoring than they were on Friday.
At the end of the day, McLean, who has yet to gain a full cap for Scotland, was in a creditable joint fifth place, only three strokes behind American Blayne Barber who has scored 73 and 74 for three-over-par 147, a total which underlines how difficult it was to score well on the second day.
James White (Lundin) was out in 40 after a first-round 81, but he came home in 38 to salvage a 78 and a tally of 159.
Ross Kellett (Colville Park) finished the second day on 161 with rounds of 79 and 82.
The fourth member of the Scottish Golf Union squad - Scottish boys and men's champion David Law was unable to play because of a broken knuckle on his left hand - Steven McEwan (Caprington) was on 167 with scores of 85 and 82.
England's Tom Lewis, the British boys champion, was on 151 with scores of 75 and 76.
