Major players still in contention

The race for a first prize of nearly £500,000 (€722,000) in the Dunhill Links Championship hotted up in Scotland today – and most of the big names were involved in it.

Darren Clarke, joint overnight leader with David Howell and Peter Lawrie, played his first four holes at Kingsbarns in three under par, but that was still only good enough to keep him in a share of top spot.
