Three Scots finish in top 10 on
Algarve Pro Tour
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Rookie Ayrshire pro Jack McDonald finished fifth and earned 700 euros (£590) in the latest Algarve Pro Tour 36-hole tournament, the Pinheiros Altos Classic.
McDonald, pictured, had a pair of 69s for a six-under-par total of 138 - three shots behind the two Portuguese players who tied for victory by two strokes on nine-under 135: Pedro Figueiredos (69-66) and Tiago Cruz (66-69).
In his second round, McDonald had an eagle 3 at the long fourth and birdies at the sixth, eighth and 16th, offset by bogeys at the first and ninth in halves of 34-35.
The other Scots in the field of 44 players, former Lanarkshire boys' champion James Steven (73-68 for 141) and Jay Taylor (71-72) for 143 finished seventh and joint ninth respectively, earning 500 and 400 euros each.
Highest placed British player was England's Jack Hiluta who had rounds of 69 and 68 for a total of 137 and a tie for third place with Portugal's Ricardo Santos (70-67).
