Scots make good progress in Spain
For the second day running, Colville Park's Ross Kellett was the leading light for Scotland, following his opening 69 with a four-under-par 68 at Copa Real Club de Golf in Sotogrande. Scottish and South African amateur champion Michael Stewart and Kris Nicol both returned 73s to leave Philip McLean as the non-counter on day two.
The Scots are on 428, four shots behind England, who came storming back after finding themselves in seventh place after the opening round.
Splitting England and Scotland are hosts Spain on 425, with world champions France alongside Ireland in joint-fourth on 431.
