Magnificent seven in the mix

Seven pros are in the mix at Dumfries and Galloway going into the second round of the Kerr Investments 36-hole pro-am.

Stephen Gray (Hayston), Keir McNicoll (Gullane) and Gareth Wright (West Linton) are joint leaders on three-under-par 67, just one shot ahead of David Nicol (Dundonald Links), Fraser Mann (Carnoustie Links), Christopher Currie (Caldwell), Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf) and Robert Arnott (Bishopbriggs).

Arnott led the Dumfries and Galloway No 15 trio of Billy Boyd (handicap 18), Alan McCabe (16) and David Frazer (12) to victory in the day one pro-am team event with a 21-under-par nett score of 119.
