One of five co-leaders after an opening 68, the East Lothian player's second-round 73 saw him drop down the leaderboard.

The latest PGA EuroPro Tour event proved one to forget for the other Lothians players in the field as John Gallagher (+3), Zack Saltman (+4), Elliot Saltman (+4), Lee Harper (+6) and Mark Kerr (+6) all missed the cut.

By contrast, Craig Lee picked up nine birdies in his second round of 66 to move to four under par for the tournament.

Englishman Robert Steele, the 2008 Tour Championship winner, shot an eight under par 64 to open up a two-shot lead going into the final round.
