Rory Tinker has improved his position at Lanark despite a 75 today leaving him (+8) after two rounds but making the cut comfortably and now in 21st equal position from the initial field of 120. This leaves him within 8 shots of the lead and the only Perth and Kinross player left in the field. The conditions were very poor today, Michael Brodie matched his score from yesterday but missed the cut by three shots however has gained a good bit of experience playing at this very high level. Of course we wish Rory all the very best for the next two rounds.
