SUPPORT FOR PAUL LAWRIE JUNIOR GOLF
As part of the agreement, Aberdeen will continue its support of the Paul Lawrie Junior Golf Programme with a percentage of the sponsorship funds contributing towards the overall management of the programme, including investment in volunteers and coaches.
“Our support of the Paul Lawrie Junior Golf Programme reinforces our longstanding commitment to support the local community and we are proud to be associated with Scotland’s leading junior golf programme.”
Paul Lawrie joined the European Tour in 1992. He became a household name upon winning the 1999 Open Championship at Carnoustie, coming from 10 strokes behind on the final day to defeat Jean Van de Velde and Justin Leonard in a four-hole play-off. He remains the last European golfer to capture the sport's most prestigious title. He also represented the European team in the 1999 Ryder Cup at Brookline, finishing as the joint top points scorer with 3.5 - including a brave win over Jeff Maggert in the bottom singles tie.
