APPEARING to have been energised by a return to home soil, Gavin Dear moved into contention behind fellow Team Scottish Hydro member Chris Doak at the halfway stage in the Scottish Challenge at Macdonald Spey Valley, the duo only being split on the leaderboard by late surges from Portuguese Jose-Filipe Lima, Italian Federico Colombo and Englishman Matthew Southgate.
Bidding for an in-house win - the £195,000 event is also sponsored by Scottish Hydro - Dear surged through the field with a five-under-par 66 for a total of 134, three behind compatriot Doak, who followed up his opening 63 with a 68 to retain pole position, a shot ahead of Lima with Colombo and Southgate, a former St Andrews Links Trophy winner, a further stroke adrift.
