Graham’s little brother Connor and James Morgan provided the two other counting scores for the Scots on the second day as they signed for 71 and 73 respectively.
Graham, who played in both the Walker Cup and Junior Ryder Cup last year, carded five birdies and four bogeys. Morgan, winner of both the Tennant Cup and Cameron Corbett Vase in 2024, mixed two birdies with two bogeys.
Gregor Tait, the fourth member of the Scottish side, was on course to provide a counting score for the second day running before dropping four shots in the last three holes for a 76.
With a seven-under-par aggregate, Scotland lead by a shot from both Italy and Wales. The Scots last lifted the trophy in 2014.
