Masters with a 68 at Royal Dornoch


By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Thomas Higson (Gleneagles Hotel) had a bag of five birdies, including gains at the 15th and 18th for a two-under-par 68 at the classic Royal Dornoch links to lead by one at the halfway stage of the Sandy Pipey Young Masters Tartan Tour 36-hole event today (Saturday).
He leads by one shot from Fraser McKenna (Caldwell) and Sam Binning (Mearns Castle Golf Academy). McKenna had the most birdies - six - but a double bogey 6 at the 18th cost him the lead.
