GRAEME STORM remains in contention in the Scottish Open but has plenty to do after a frustrating second round.

The 29-year-old, the overnight leader on Thursday, made four bogeys on the last nine at Loch Lomond to card 72, one over, for today.

Storm's misfortune on day two means that he will start the weekend five shots shy of French leader Gregory Havret on five under.

It had all been going well for Storm, whose first round 65 had put him on a par with the mighty American Phil Mickelson.

After birdies at the second and fifth he looked like remaining with playing partner Mickelson. Bogeys at the tenth, 11th, 16th and 17th soon put paid to his hopes, though. Not even a birdie at the 13th in the driving rain could keep him in the top ten.

Nevertheless, he will be still hopeful that he can make inroads towards the leaders once more over the final couple of rounds.
