DISAPPOINTING FINISH FOR SCOTS IN
CHALLENGE TOUR EVENT


More news we were unable to give you on Sunday because of a communications hitch:

Jack Doherty finished as the leading Scot at the Oceanico Developments Pro-Am Challenge, but it was another disappointing week for the Challenge Tour’s tartan contingent at the Marriott Hotel and Country Club in Manchester.
No-one was more frustrated than George Murray who fell from a tie for fifth place at the halfway stage to a finishing position of 42nd after weekend rounds of 73-74 at the par 70 venue saw him fall from eight to one under par in the space of 36 holes.
It was the same case for all four Scots who made the cut. Chris Doak shot 74-73 over the last two rounds to finish on level par, while Peter Whiteford’s scores of 72-76 saw him finish five over.
Doherty finished the week on two under after rounds of 71-73 that left him 13 shots behind the winner, Ross McGowan of England who took the title after a play-off with Frenchman Michael Lorenzo-Vera.
