Impressive Lester in hunt at Amateur Championship

Rowan Lester is just five shots off the lead at the 123rd Amateur Championship after a superb opening round at Murcar Links.

The Hermitage man carded a one-over 71 despite a troublesome back nine.

He went in at the turn one under after a birdie on the third, but three bogeys on 10, 13, and 15 left him in a spot of bother.
