TOUGH IN TEXAS FOR BANCHORY BOY
Banchory teenager James Byrne struggled to a seven-over-par 78 in windy conditions for the Holiday Classic at Barton Creek, the latest event on the Texas Junior Tour golf circuit over the Festive period.
Byrne could not conjure up a single birdie over the 6,553yd, par-71 course near Austin in halves of 38 and 40 to be sharing 11th place with two rounds to go.
Three Americans, Travis Klutts, Brenden Redfern and Zack Fischer lead the field on 75.
Aberdeen-born Tommy Mitchell had two triple bogeys and two double bogeys but finished well with birdies at the 17th and 18th in an 85 which left him in joint 68th place.
