Havret takes half-way lead in Scotland

Just one month after a scary-sounding confrontation with a bull, Frenchman Gregory Havret might now have to fight off two giants of golf to win the Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond this weekend.

After a brilliant second round 64 the 30-year-old shares the lead with Spain’s Jose Manuel Lara after a day that saw Colin Montgomerie, Retief Goosen, Tom Lehman, David Howell, Trevor Immelman and defending champion Johan Edfors all miss the halfway cut.
