Second after qualifying was England’s Rob Thurlby with a solid 1404 and high of 267. Third was Scottish international Martin Williamson with 1354.

The cut for the Sunday finals fell on Scotland’s female World Cup entry this year Tania Yusaf with 1180.

Booking the top place was Scotsman Kenny Jamieson with 663 followed by fellow Scot Andrew McManus in second with 657 tied with Englishman Liam Fitzpatrick. Steven Gill advanced with 650 and taking the cut spot again was Tania Yusaf with 647 including ladies bonus.
