Cameron Raymond is just two shots off the lead with one round to go in the PGA EuroPro Tour’s Newmachar Golf Club Challenge in Scotland.

He shot a five-under par 67 at the Scottish venue where high winds caused by Storm Ali forcing organisers to cut the tournament to 36 holes.

The first round was completed over two days with Billy Spooner carding a seven-under 65 to lead by two shots from Raymond, England's James Wilkinson, Welshman Richard James and Scot Calum Fyfe.

Only three hours of golf was played on the opening day as Storm Ali battered the Aberdeen countryside, forcing the final regular event of the season to be reduced to two rounds.
