Bryan Fotheringham (pictured right) from Forres and Steven McEwan (Barassie) finished joint eighth and 30th respectively in the New South Wales amateur stroke-play golf championship at Mona Vale Golf Club.
Both made it through to the New South Wales match-play championship at Terrey Hill, starting on Wednesday, as finishers in the top 32.
Fotheringham had scores of 71, 72, 69 and 72 for a two-under-par total of 284.

The stroke-play championship was won by England’s Stephen Lewton (Woburn), a former North Carolina State University player on the American circuit.
The final two rounds of the 72-hole event were played today and Lewton virtually “stole” the title from the top Australians with a morning third-round 64 on his way to an 11-under-par total of 275.
He won by one shot from New South Wales player Rohan Blizard with the current Aussie champion Tim Stewart third on 279.
