ERIC MCINTOSH FINDS JUNIOR ORANGE BOWL IS A GAME OF TWO HALVES

ERIC McINTOSH CANT GET TO GRIPS WITH OUTWARD HALF AT JUNIOR ORANGE  BOWL

Scottish boys champion Eric McIntosh (Bruntsfield Links) is tied for 46th place after Day 2 of the Junior Orange Bowl golf tournament with rounds of 79 and 76 for a 12-over-par tally of 154 at the Biltmore Course, Coral Gables in Florida.

Eric  is finding the outward half hard to master.  For the second day in a row it cost him 40 strokes (five over par). In contrast he covered the second nine in one-under-par 35 with birdies at the 11th, short 14th and par-5 18th. 

Australian 15 year old Karl Vilips leads the boys' section by five strokes after scores of 65

and 67 for 10-under-par 132 over the par 71 course.

South Korea's Somi Lee has taken over the girls' lead with 68 and 69 for five-under 137 - two shots ahead of first-round pacemaker Agathe Laisne of France.
