In-form Cutler off to a flier as he joins early leaders in Denmark

PAUL CUTLER continued his rich vein of form yesterday to grab a place among the first-round leaders in the European Amateur Individual Golf championship in Denmark.

The Portstewart star, who played such a vital role in Ireland’s European team title triumph last month in Turin, collecting a maximum six points in the match-play phase, fired a level par 71 to be just three strokes behind early pacemaker Luke Goddard, the English international from Hendon.

Cutler was in inspired form on his way to the turn, going out in two under par 34 comprising three birdies, one bogey and six pars.
