BYRNE HAS FIVE SHOTS TO MAKE UP
IN FINAL ROUND IN TEXAS EVENT

Banchory teenager James Byrne is lying fourth - five shots off the pace - with one round to go in the Holiday Classic at Barton Creek, the latest event in the Texas Junior Tour.
Byrne followed up his opening round of 78 with a 75 after starting with a double bogey at the first. He birdied the seventh and 16th in halves of 37 (two over par) and 38 (two over par) for a two-round tally of 153 over the par-71, 6,553yd lay-out near Austin.
Aberdeen-born Tommy Mitchell had another disappointing day with an 84 which included two triple bogeys and a double bogey in halves of 41 and 43 for a share of 69th place on 169.
Travis Klutts (75-73) leads on 148 by two shots from fellow American Josh Jones (76-74) with Zack Fisher (75-77) third on 152.
