MARK Young stepped up his bid for an unprecedented third successive Mitsushiba Northern Order of Merit title when he displaced Lancashire team-mate Tommy Fleetwood at the top of the table.
The Longridge player, who helped the Red Rose side win their first Northern Counties League match at the season against Durham at Castle Eden the previous day, finished second in the Acorn Trophy at Accrington to Craig Fort.
A former county player, the Nelson man tied with Young on five-under-par but got the verdict on the strength of a better second round of 67 which contained four birdies.
He also had an eagle at the 533-yard 16th in a morning score of 68. Third place, four off the pace, was Fairhaven’s Charles Durnian, son of European Senior Tour man Denis.
