Scot leads Amateur Open in Dublin

Scotland's Gavin Dear has one-stroke lead entering Sunday's final 36 holes of the Irish Amateur Open at a windy Royal Dublin.

The 24-year old from Murrayshall, who was a member of the three-man Scotland side that captured the World Amateur Team Championship in Australia last November, fired a three-under 69 to lead by a stroke on two-over-par 146 from Knock's Nicky Grant, who also shot a 69.
