Dougherty back in great form
9:08am Friday 15th August 2008
Nick Dougherty boosted his Ryder Cup chances by taking a share of the early lead in the Scandinavian Masters first round.
With three counting events left Dougherty is four places away from the top-10 qualifiers in the European side but a flawless four-under 66 started his last-ditch bid to make mentor Nick Faldo's team for next month’s clash against the U.S.
The 26-year-old from Chorley holed out with his second shot at the par-four 12th on his way to a share of the clubhouse lead with Swede Peter Hanson.
“It’s been a long while since I’ve played like that,” said Dougherty.
