McDOUGALL AND CURRIE FLY

HOME FLAG IN FALDO QUALIFIER

The loose regulations that govern the Nick Faldo Junior Series allows boys and girls from anywhere to take part in the three-day Scottish qualifying competition at The Duke's Course, St Andrews even though all the home countries have qualifying events in their ares and there are qualifiers overseas as well..

The upshot is that the "locals," i.e. the Scots, are in danger of being crowded out on their own patch.

Only the age and gender category winners go forward to the Grand Final later in the year.

Brad Robinson from Close House, Northumberland and Matthew Roberts from Fulford, Yorkshire, are disputing the boys' lead on two-over-par 73 with Alasdair McDougall (St Andrews New) and Jack Currie (Greenock).

In the girls' section, Daphne Houten from the Netherlands is leading by two with a four-over 75. Louise Duncan (West Kilbride) is in second place.
