McLEAN BIRDIE PATCH MAKES HIM LEADING SCOT IN MOROCCO
Peterhead's Philip McLean strung four birdies together around the turn
to be the best placed of the five Scots in the field for the Samanah
Open over the championship course designed by Jack Nicklaus at Samanah
Country Club, Marrakesh in Morocco.
Playing out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, McLean birdies the ninth,
10th, 11th, 12th and 16th but cancelled out all his good work with five
bogeys for a par round of 72.
That left him in joint 25th place - six shots behind French leader
Eduard Espana - in a field of 120.
Team-mates Jordan Findlay and David Law are joint 41st and 66th
respectively after scores of 73 and 75.
Pollok's Conor O'Neil had a 78 for joint 91st place while Craig Lawrie,
son of Paul, had an 81 for a share of 107th place.
