GOLF:KEAGAN CUMMINGS maintained his rich vein of form at windy Burnham and Berrow on the Somerset coast yesterday to move into the third round of the British Boys' Amateur Championship.

The 18-year-old from Elm Park, who is about to start his second year at the David Leadbetter Golfing Academy in Florida, overcame talented Scot Greig Marchbank by 31.

He lost two of the first three holes and would have been three down but for holing a long putt on the second.

Cummings birdied the fourth, seventh and eighth to go ahead and was still in that position going to the 15th which he won and completed the task by winning the 17th with a birdie three.

This morning he faces Steffen Harm, one of six Germans to have survived the opening day of match-play.

John-Ross Galbraith from Whitehead in Carrickfergus made it through to round three with a splendid 21 victory over Spaniard Jon Rahm and today faces England international Max Orrin.

West Waterford’s Gary Hurley made it three out of three for the Irish by defeating England’s Thomas Rowland 32 and he now meets Belgium’s Thomas Detry.
