Young holds two shot lead over Caldwell at Spey Valley

Daniel Young leads The Eagle Orchid Scottish Masters after 36 holes by two strokes heading into the final day tomorrow at Macdonald Spey Valley Resort. 

The Kingsbarns Pro Academy golfer followed up from his round of 65 (-6) yesterday with the second round of 67 (-4) seeing him sit at the top of the leaderboard after a bogey-free day two.

Jonathan Caldwell (Clandeyboye Golf Club) is the man two shots back from Young after carding a second round of 69 (-2) recovering from an early bogey on his front nine. 

It’s been a real mixed bag of weather on the hills of Cairngorms National Park with the cut made at +4. 

Andrew Arft (Kirby Muxloe Golf Club), Gavin Hay (Mearns Castle Golf Academy), Billy Hemstock (Roehampton Club) and George Bloor (Cavendish Golf Club) all sit tied for third on five under with Arft shooting 69 (-3). 

At tied seventh, it’s Brendan McCarroll (West Cliffs Golf Links), Lawrence Allan (Alva Golf Club), Joe Brooks (Hanbury Manor Golf Club) and Marco Penge (Golf at Goodwood) on four under.

Two of the most impressive rounds of the day came from Ryan Campbell (Falkirk Golf Club) who posted a second round of 65 (-6) to recover from three over yesterday.

In the same boat, Sam Robertshawe makes his first cut of the year (Arrmy GC/Puttenham Construction) with going in the clubhouse for 65 to come back from five over yesterday to be one under overall.
