Round 2 play (2pts):
Ricardo Gonzalez to beat Alan Dunbar -130 @ 5Dimes
An ugly 5-7 ending to his round spoiled Gonzalez's card, but he still hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation (only Oscar Floren hit more today) so he is clearly maintaining the form that has seen him miss just one cut in the last three months. Dunbar is a 22-year-old amateur from the neighbouring Rathmore club who proved his links credentials when winning the St Andrews Trophy in 2009, but his two previous appearances in a Tour event have resulted in missed cuts and he failed to take advantage of playing in the far easier morning condition today. He sits at one-under-par alongside Gonzalez who will take his turn to play in the calmer and (predicted) dryer conditions in the morning.
