END OF PLAY NEWS FROM EUROPEAN CHSHP
GALLAGHER (71) TOP SCOT BUT McNICOLL
HAS A NIGHTMARE 86 IN ITALY
Cack-handed John Gallagher from Swanston was the leading Scot in the clubhouse at the end of the first round of the European men’s amateur individual golf championship at Biella Golf Club, near Turin in Italy today.
Gallagher shot a two-under-par 71 to be six shots behind joint leaders, Ireland’s young up-and-coming star, Rory McIlroy andSwitzerland’s Damian Ulrich.
Twice Scottish match-play finalist Paul O’Hara (Colville Park) came next after Gallagher with a par-matching 73.
Scott Jamieson (Cathkin Braes) had a 74, Scott Henry (Cardross) a 75 and Glenn Campbell (Blairgowrie) and George Murray (Earlferry Thistle) both scored 76s.
Jordan Findlay (Fraserburgh), soon to return to start a second year at East Tennessee State University, had a disappointing 77 but spare a thought for Keir McNicoll. The Carnoustie man had the kind of day when he must have wished he had stayed in bed – a 13-over-par 86 which put him bottom of the first-round scores.
New Scottish champion Kevin McAlpine (Alyth) won the title at Nairn too late to be included in the Scottish Golf Union squad for this championship. Entries had to be lodged with the European Golf Association prior to the Scottish championship – and McAlpine was not regarded as being in the top bracket at that stage.
