PETER LATIMER KOs LEADING

QUALIFIER IN ROYAL DORNOCH

CARNEGIE SHIELD

By ROBIN WILSON

Peter Latimer from Markinch in Fife, a freshman student at Guilford College, North Carolina enjoyed a comprehensive 6 and 5 victory over leading qualifier Ian Rennie (Royal Dornoch ) in round two of the Carnegie Shield at Royal Dornoch.

This set up an intriguing semi final against the 2005 winner, Andrew Bigadike. Biggadike it was, when the two met in a quarter final in 2005, who recommended Guilford College and his former coach Jack Jenson to Latimer when he was considering a scholarship in the States and in the Spring this year the Fifer won his first tournament on the the US College Tour.
