Paul Lawrie is currently ina tie for first place in the BMW Asian Open in Shanghai. After two rounds of 70 he is sitting at 4 under par along with Henrik Stenson and Frankie Minoza. Although both Stenson and Minoza are still only on the front nine of their second rounds it looks like Paul won't be far away going in to moving day! After his form from last Sunday you would have to be brave to count him out!

There is also hope for Scottish golf in the future as therewas a Scottish 1-2-3 in a US collegiate event. Duncan Stewart from Grantown on Spey retained the title beating Russell Knox from Inverness in a play-off and Jordan Findlay from Fraserburgh finished third. Well done. (Maybe in the future the Ryder Cup could be Scotland against the US!)
