North-east Golfers' Alliance meeting at Buckpool
BRATTON, CAMPBELL, KENNEDY
TIE FOR VICTORY WITH 71s
Back on the North-east Alliance circuit after a wet week in Trinidad for a pro-am, Newburgh-on-Ythan professional Ian Bratton tied for victory at Buckpool Golf Club today with two scratch amateurs, Andrew Campbell (Deeside) and Euan Kennedy (Stonehaven).
It was the sixth time during the 2006-2007 season that Bratton has won outright or shared the honours.
There was no snow on the course but it was cold, wintry day and the trio headed a field of 68 on one-over-par 71, which was not bad scoring, given the conditions.
Bratton had the best finish. After going out in 37 and slipping to three over par after a bogey at the 11th, Ian covered the last eight holes in two under par with birdies at the 14th and 17th.
In contrast, Campbell, out in 36, bogeyed the last after birdieing the 17th and 18th and Kennedy, out in 35, also dropped a shot at the last when on the brink of matching par. Mind you, the Stonehaven player did well to finish so close after a double bogey 6 at the 10th.
