The Kilkenny man was brilliantly placed to give his year the kiss of life when he opened with a four under 67 at the Macdonald Spey Valley Golf Course.
But a four over par outward half of 39 undid him completely and while he birdied the 13th coming home, his three over 74 left him one shot outside the cut mark on one-under par.
Step in the right direction for Gary Murphy
