Great Scott! Calum is in there pitching for Scottish Boys Open title at Montrose 

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Nairn's outstanding prospect, Calum Scott, is only one behind German leader Patrick Schmuecking after the first round of the 72-hole Scottish U18 boys' open championship at Montrose Links.
Scott shot a one-over 72, thanks to an inward half of 32 - birdies at the 10th, 11th and 18th, after taking 40 blows to reach the turn.
Schmueking birdied the 10th, 12th and 13th for a back nine of 32 also.
Scott, pictured, is sharing second place with a second German in the leading trio, Martin Grundermann
.Matty Wilson from Forres is another Highlander in the mix. He is sharing fifth place on 73 despite a double bogey 6 at the second and bogeys at the seventh and 10th. Birdie 2s at the third and 16th kept his spirits high.
Also on the 73 mark is Ian Taggart (Lenzie).
The big field of 144 competitors will be cut to the leading 40 and ties after the second round.
