LOCKHART WINS AT ARCHERFIELD FROM ACE CRERAR

Ladybank's Alan Lockhart won the £831 top prize in today's Scottish Licensed Trade Benevolent Society pro-am at Archerfield Links Golf Club, East Lothian.
Lockhart finished with a four-under-par 68 which was a good round in its own right but he could have had an exceptional score over a tough course but for a double-bogey at the very last hole.
Prior to that Alan had birdied the third, fifth, sixth, 10th,14th and 15th and was six under par standing on the 18th tee.
Runner-up Andrew Crerar (King James VI) had a hole in one at the third (181yd) with a seven iron. It was is third ace. His score of 69 earned him £664.
Lee Vannet (Carnoustie Golf Links) led the Saltire Taverns' amateur trio of Billy Lowe (13), Ian Lynn (18) and Steve Paterson (18) to victory with a net better ball score of 12-under-par 60 - but only on a better inward half of 29.
Campbell Elliott (Haggs Castle) and the Best Cellars' team also had a net score of 60.
