Louis Gaughan leads by two in P and H 


Championship

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Bathgate's Louis Gaughan, pictured, achieved a top 20 finish in the Tartan Tour's inaugural P and H 54-hole championship at the Renaissance Club last year.
He again showed his liking for the North Berwick course by leading the field in the 2016 event by a clear two shots after a splendid round of five-under-par 66.
Gaughan was runner-up in last year's Scottish young professionals' championship but, apart from that, he has not been much in the limelight.
This tournament, with a field of 125, could change all that.
Gaughan birdied the long third, fifth, short sixth, seveth, long 16th and 18th in halves of 33, on which the only blot was a bogey at the short ninth. 
He leads by two from Ross Munro (Duddingston), Marc Owenson (Gullane) and Paul O'Hara (Clydeway Golf).
The huge field will be cut to the leading 40 and ties after the second round. If the first round scores are any guide, the cut should be around 148.
