FOX BEATS ORR IN PLAY-OFF TO WIN AT SHOTTS
... after leader Glen drops FIVE shots over
the last three holes
Musselburgh's Kenneth Glen blew his victory chance in the North Lanarkshire Council/Pro Guide Young Professional's 36-hole tournament with a disastrous slump over the last three holes at Shotts Golf Club.
Glen had shared the first-round lead with David Orr (East Renfrewshire) on four-under-par 66 and after birdies at thesecond, fifth, 10th and 12th (bogeys at the eighth and ninth), he was six under par for the tournament coming into the last three holes in the second round.
He needed only to par them for a 68 and a clear-cut winning total of 134. Even a single bogey and two pars would have been good enough for him to win by one shot.
Sadly, Kenneth bogeyed the 16th, double-bogeyed the 17th and double-bogeyed the 18th - five shots shed in three holes - for a 73 and a total of 139 which gave him a share of sixth place and a cheque for £110.
Graham Fox (West Kilbride) holed a putt for a birdie 3 to beat David Orr at the first hole of a sudden-death play-off.
Fox and Orr had tied on four-under-par 136, Graham with rounds of 69 and 67, David with 66 and 70.,
Fox earned £400 and Orr £297.
Joint third on 137 were Lee Harper (Archerfield Links) (69-68) and Steven Taylor (Bothwell Castle) (70-67).

Par 140 (2 x 70)
136 G Fox (West Kilbride) 69 67, D Orr (East Renfrewshire) 66 70 (Fox bt Orr at first hole of sudden death play-off).
