FOX MOVES UP AT BLAIRGOWRIE

Despite a double bogey 6 at the third hole, Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf) moved up to a share of 12th place on the penultimate day of the lucrative Glenmuir PGA professional championship over the Lansdowne course at Blairgowrie Golf Club.

Fox birdied the first, second, sixth, eighth and 17th for a two-under-par 70 to tag on to his earlier rounds of 70 and 73. On three-under 213, Fox is five shots behind the trio sharing the lead - Jason Levermore (Channels (71-68-68), Giuseppe Licagta (Bristol Golf Centre) (68-72-68) and Christopher McDonnell (Troon Golf Management)_(67-72-78.

Whether or not Fox can make up five shots over the closing 18 holes is a moot point but a battle royal is assured with two shots spanning the leading six players.

David Orr (Mearns Castle) is the second best Scot in joint 25th place on 216 (74-71-71).
