Craig Lee Flies Scotland Flag High In Germany

Craig Lee is best of the Scots adding a 69 to his opening 70 to inside the top-20 at five under par and six shots adrift of the leading trio.

Lee three-putted his first for bogey but then raced to three under par with four birdies in succession from his third hole.

“It was a bit annoying to three putt the first but I managed to quickly turn it around, so I am delighted with that,” he said.

“We’re only at the halfway stage and with plenty of holes still to play but it is one of those golf courses that produces plenty of birdies that is not normally my cup of tea.

Craig Lee delights some young fans with an autograph after his round.

“But I have putted pretty well for two days but then it’s all about finding the fairways and then the greens as there is no secret recipe to any other golf we play.”

Richie Ramsay says his mobile phone went into meltdown with countless offers from his mates looking to buy the £130,000 BMW M760 Li  V-12 luxury sedan he won for an ace a day earlier.

“My phone hasn’t stopped buzzing with the boys offering the take the car off my hands for a small fee,” said Ramsay smiling.

“I am still surprised how much the car is worth.”

Then when Ramsay returned to the 16th tee on day two he looked back to the car he’d won saying to himself: “Is that mine? Is that mine? Oh, yes it is. But I was also thinking I just hope nobody scratches it.”

And in playing the 16th for a second time Ramsay said:   “I hit a lovely shot to about 20 feet for a two-putt par but then nothing could beat yesterday’s shot (smiling).”
