Knox makes mark at US PGA school

Golf

Scotland's Russell Knox has topped the standings at stage one of the US PGA Tour's qualifying school in Florida.

The Inverness man, who has earned more than £60,000 on the third-tier NGA Hooters Tour, recorded a six-under-par 66 at the St Johns club.

Knox's 15-under aggregate of 273 was three strokes better than American Chris Kirk and Ireland's Chris Devlin.

The Scot, a graduate of Jacksonville University, fell at the second hurdle in 2008.

Dubai-based compatriot Ross Bain, who was born in Cardross, missed out at Dayton Valley in Nevada, finishing seven shots adrift of the qualifying score.

Knox's success is the second by a Scot in the USA in a week after Martin Laird's maiden triumph on the main tour in Las Vegas.
