Ramsay has the edge in Wales

EUROPEAN TOUR rookie Richie Ramsay takes a one-shot lead into the third round of the Celtic Manor Wales Open — and hopes his experience of playing with some of the biggest names in golf will now pay dividends.

After becoming the first Scot in 108 years to win the US Amateur title three years ago Ramsay partnered Phil Mickelson at The Masters, Tiger Woods at the US Open and Pádraig Harrington in The Open.

The 25-year-old from Aberdeen missed the cut in all three, but after rounds of 68 and 67 so far this week he is seven under par on the course where next year’s Ryder Cup will take place.
