Michael Stewart (Troon Welbeck), who led the qualifying after a four under par first round at North Berwick, shot a three over par 74 over Muirfield on day two for a 141 total (-1) and a share of 27th place.
His score secured Stewart a place in round 2 of the matchplay where he will face Philipp Westermann (Germany) on Wednesday.
Also grabbing a slot in the matchplay was Chris Harkins (Ayr Belleisle) who followed his level par first round of 71 with a second round 72 for a 143 total (+1) to tie for 57th place, right on the eventual cut score.

After a four over par opening round, Steven McEwan (Caprington) was struggling to make the cut but a second round of 70 gave him a 36 hole total of 145 which ultimately left him only two shots adrigft of securing a place in the matchplay stages.
