HUTCH AND RAMSAY TOP SCOTS
AS MOLINARI WINS AGAIN
IN KENYA OPEN
Banchory’s Greig Hutcheon and Eric Ramsay from Carnoustie were joint top Scots – sharing 19th place – in the Kenya Open at Karen Golf Club, Nairobi today.
Hutcheon and Ramsay, pictured right, finished on three-over-par 283, Greig with a final round of 71 (35-36) and Ramsay a 69 which included birdies a the second, sixth, 12th, 14th and 18th in halves of 34-35.
Rising Italian star Edoardo Molinari, winner of the US amateur championship in 2005, won on the European Challenge Tour for the second time this year. He followed up his Colombian Masters success with scores of 68, 69,67 and 70 for a six-under-par 274, despite running up a double bogey 6 at the eight.
The Turin player came home in 32 with birdies at the 11th, 15th and 17th to win by a single shot from South African James Kamte. Molinari’s financial reward was 25,600 Euros.
In contrast, Hutcheon, who has spent the winter on the comparative warmth of Portugal’s Algarve, and Ramsay earned 1,661 Euros apiece.
Fifer Peter Whiteford squandered a flying start with birdies at the first, third and fifth to finish with a 71 for 285 and a share of 35th place. He won 1,056 Euros.
Graeme Brown from Montrose bogeyed the 13th and 16th in a closing 72 for 286 and a share of 42nd place. He won 832 Euros.
Scott Henderson who was in contention after a first-round 68 slid back to a share of 60th place with a final round of 75 for 11-over-par 291. Scott had double bogeys at the sixth and 12th in halves of 36 and 39. He gained 488 Euros.
