McGinley fires a confidence boosting 68

PAUL McGINLEY fired a 68 in the final round of yesterday's Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond to give himself a good confidence boost ahead of this week's British Open.

McGinley finished five strokes behind winner Eduardo Romero, who defeated Sweden’s Fredrik Jacobson in a playoff.

“I had no bogeys at the weekend, and six birdies,” he said. “I feel I’m back on track. I feel like I’m playing the way I can normally play. I haven’t had that feeling for a while.”
