Graham Fox and Kenny Hutton are the leaders at the halfway stage at the King’s Course at Gleneagles.

East Kilbride’s Fox and 48-year-old Hutton, 18 years the professional at Downfield in Dundee played 32 holes yesterday, with only a 20-minute break between rounds, as the championship got back onto an even keel after Monday’s deluge brought play to a premature end.

Hutton’s seven-under aggregate of 135 (68-67) left him tied with Fox and a shot ahead of Banchory’s Greig Hutcheon, who carded two 68s, and last year’s champion, Alan Lockhart, with former European Rookie of the Year, Scott Henderson, a further shot behind.

Fox, who had identical scores to Hutton’s, missed a tiddler on the 13th green but made amends with eagle at the par-5 last.
