MARK KERR HAS £10,000 JACKPOT CHANCE IN EUROPRO TOUR FINALE

Five Scots survived the 36-hole cut, eight of their compatriots will not play Friday's final round of this week's PGA EuroPro Tour event at Bovey Castle, Dartmoor in Devon. Mark Kerr (Dalmahoy) is the best placed to have a crack at winning the £10,000 jackpot prize but scores of 66-68 for 134 and a share of sixth place have left him with six shots to make up on leader Stuart Manley (Wales), who had a pair of 64s for 12-under-par 128, one shot ahead of Martin LeMesurier (64-65). Duncan Stewart (Grantown on Spey) could keep his investors happy with a good finish. He is joint 17th on 137 (69-68). Chris Kelly (Cawder) is joint 19th on 138 with a pair of 69s. Wallace Booth (Comrie) had the best Scottish score of the day, a three-under-par 67 to add to his opening 72 for 139 and a share of 26th place. Ed Wood (Crow Wood) made it through on the limit mark of 141 with scores of 73 and 68 for joint 44th position. Last September's Walker Cup heroes, Banchory's James Byrne (IMG) and Michael Stewart (Troon Welbeck) were among the Scottish failures. Byrne shot 74-69 for 143, the same total as Elliot Saltman (Archerfield) who scored 71-72. Paul Doherty (Vale Hotel) totalled 141 (73-71), Shaun McAllister (Craigielaw) 145 (73-71), Michael Stewart (Troon Welbeck) 146 (74-72), Zack Saltman (Archerfield) 146 (77-69), Myles Cunningham (Longniddry) 152 (76-76 and John Gallagher (Swanston) 154 (83-71).
