Defending champ Law leads in Turkey

David Law will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Sueno Dunes Classic at Belek, Turkey as he looks to defend his title.

Aberdonian Law, the 2011 Northern Open champion who will be campaigning on the Challenge Tour from March onwards, tagged a two-under 67 (33-34) to his opening 65 and a 132 tally lead from Portugal's Tiago Cruz and Faycal Serghini (Morocco) going into the final round.

Law birdied the sixth, 14^th, 15^th and 18^th, dropping shots at the 10^th and short 17^th.

Other Paul Lawrie Golf Centre stablemates to make it through to the last day are Peterhead's Philip McLean (67 for 139, which included an eagle 2 at the third, and joint 28^th place), Fraserburgh's Jordan Findlay (33rd on 140 after a 68) and Kris Nicol (joint 36^th after a 70 for 142).

Nicol made the cut on the limit mark as did Pollok's Conor O'Neil who birdied the 14^th, 15^th and 16^th on his way to a second-round 72.

Anglo-Scot Brad Hannah (Workington) missed out by a shot with a 74 for 143 while Paul Lawrie's elder son Craig Lawrie, playing as a pro outside Scotland for the first time, had only four par figures in a nightmare second round of 81 (39-42) for 160, 18 strokes above the cut mark.
