DP World Tour : Nexo Scottish Championship ..Leaderboard
On a windy day on Trump International Links in Aberdeen where the low score was a 68, Scotland's Grant Forrest is doing his countrymen proud, leading the Nexo Scottish Championship by 3 shots after 54 mainly dry but very windy holes.
He showed nerves of steel to fight back and the Scot led by one at the halfway stage, but found himself overhauled by playing partner Jordan Smith just after the turn following a run of bogey-par-bogey from the eighth.
That left him at -5, however, he returned to the summit alongside Smith, who bogeyed the 11th, with Todd Clements and Kristoffer Reitan also climbing into the share of the lead.
However, Forrest was the only player to jump out of the group at -5, with three birdies in his final five holes helping him to a -8 total
Norway's Reitan carded the lowest round of the day with a 68, Englishman Clements signed for a 69 and Dutchman Daan Huizing joined the pair in a tie for second at five under.
Forrest had to remain patient as the Aberdeenshire coastline course was battered by wind once again, starting seven straight pars.
Reitan rolled in six birdies and two dropped shots in his 68, Clements mixed an eagle, four birdies and three bogeys and Huizing picked up five shots, a double bogey and a dropped shot to reach -5
English pair Joe Dean and Andy Sullivan and Dane Jacob Skov Olesen all carded 70 to sit a further two shots adrift in a share of fifth at -3
Eddie Pepperell is in solo eighth at -2, while Finn, Oliver Lindell, John Parry, Scotland's Ryan Lumsden and American Davis Bryant are at -1
edit>>>>>Canada's Aaron Cockerill was out early fighting the gusting wind coming in with a +6 78 T56 with the scoring average on the par 72, settling at 74.5
