No penalty as Dougherty takes lead

Nick Dougherty, a Liverpudlian who supports Manchester United, grabbed the lead in the Nissan Irish Open today – and then seconds later saw Paul Scholes’ penalty miss in the FA Cup final.

The 22-year-old will go into the closing round at Carton House near Dublin two ahead of Swindon’s David Howell and tour rookie Oliver Wilson, from Mansfield.
