ROSS CURRIE BEATS MACHRIHANISH
WIND, RAIN TO WIN COUNTY TITLE

Ross Currie of Machrihanish Golf Club, pictured right, secured his second area title by winning a rain-reduced Argyll and Bute men's stroke-play title over his home course.
Torrential rain, accompanied by a brisk south-easterly breeze, made the exposed links an inhospitable place to be. Scoring was very difficult and Ross's 72 was fine effort.
This was good enough to secure a two-shot victory from Alan McKie of Glencruitten.
In joint third place were Bute's Graham Bolton and Dunaverty's Greg Watson.
CSS for the day was 74 (reduction only).
Glencruitten won the team title and will represent Argyll and Bute in the Scottish club championship at Glenbervie on Sunday, September 30.
