STUDENT FROM LEICESTER SHARING
LEAD IN JONES CUP INVITATIONAL
Gregory from Leicester, a senior-year student at Central Florida University, is sharing the lead after two rounds of the Jones Cup Invitational over the Ocean Forest Golf Club course in Georgia.
The 6ft 2in Englishman, pictured, has had rounds of 70 and 74 for level par 144 and shares the pole position with two Americans, Bryson Dechambeau (74-70) and Mike McCoy (73-71).
There is another Englishman in the top 20 with a round to go and that is Kentucky student Ben Stow in T14 position on 147 with scores of 73-74.
David Boote, a Stanford University, California student from Wales, is T16 on 148 (72-76).
You have to go pretty far down the quality field of 90 players to find the two Scots in it.
Ewan Scott (St Andrews), a former Scottish youths champion who is a first-year student at Tennessee-Chattanooga University, is T61 on 154 after scores of 76 and 78.
John Ross (Houston University and a Royal Burgess member in Edinburgh) is T81 with scores of 76 and 83 adding up to 159.
