David Shacklady leads the PGA North order of merit going into the final event next month.

Starting his round at the 16th, he birdied two of the first three holes then picked up three more before his late slip.

A five-under-par 67 left him with a share of the spoils with Garforth Golf Range's Danny Walsh, whose flawless round included an eagle at the 10th.

The series will reach its climax at St Annes Old Links on April 7 with Mossock Hall's former PGA Cup player David Shacklady in pole position to clinch the order of merit after his 69 at Alwoodley.
