SCOTT, MARCHBANK SPEARHEAD SCOTS BOYS IN SWEDEN

 Scotland don't have much room for error as they go into the second qualifying round of the European Under-18 boys' team golf championship at Lidingo Golf Club, Sweden.
Only the top eight teams after the 36-hole stroke-play test will go forward to the championship flight of the match-play stages.
Scotland, spearhed by one-over-par 71s from Ewan Scott and Greig Marchbank, and a 72 from Bradley Neil, are in seventh place, but only a shot ahead of France and Norway, the joint eighth teams.
Italy (349) lead from Austria (358), Spain (359) and England (361).
Blairgowrie's Neil had an albatross 2 at the par-5 10th but he had nothing to celebrate after that ... five bogeys in his last eight holes.
Lawrence Allan had a 74 and Scottish boys match-play champion Craig Howie a 75.
Jamie Savage had Scotland's non-counting score, a 76.
