North of Scotland open amateur stroke-play championship
MICHAEL BUCHAN LEADS BY FOUR FROM ROBERT
CARSON WITH ONE ROUND IN THE WIND TO GO
BY ROBIN WILSON
Halfway leader Michael Buchan (Cruden Bay) had his lead trimmed from five shots to four over the third round of the North of Scotland open amateur stroke-play championship at a windy Royal Dornoch today.
Buchan shot a one-over-par 71 - bogeys at the third, fourth, ninth and 11th and three birdies at the fifth, sixth and 15th - for a 54-hole tally of 205, four ahead of Robert Carson (Dalmahoy) who moved into second place with a 69 for 209. That one-under-par 69 was the best by anyone in the third round.
Duncan Stewart (Grantown on Spey), winner of two SGU Order of Merit events this summer, edged into third place on 211 with a 70.
Mark Hillson (Craigielaw), Buchan's nearest challenger overnight, slipped down to fourth place on 212 with a 73.
The championship for the David Blair Trophy is sponsored by Allied Surveyors and A J G Parcels.
