The first groups out this morning have been filtering back into the clubhouse over the last hour or so ready for some well-earned post-round grub!
We've seen some fantastic performances put in all morning, with brilliant scores shot despite the strong coastal wind. A recurring theme you'll have noticed throughout all of our on-course interviews is the international players noting just how different playing here is compared to back home - at least they can say they're getting an authentic Scottish experience.

Shoutout to Adam Stepaniuk of Cayman International School and who's representing the Cayman Islands this week. He shot even on the first nine (37) and currently sits top of the Junior Boys Stroke Play leaderboard - a big well done!
