Former Tartan Tour Order of Merit winner and past Northern Open champion Chris Doak has hit form early this season with a couple of sparkling 68s to win the Callaway/Audi Craigielaw first prize at Craigielaw Golf Club today.
Doak, pictured right by Cal Carson Golf Agency (all rights reserved), surged three shots clear of the field on six-under-par 136, scoring 11 birdies over the 36 holes.
Six of them came in his second round - at the first, second, third, 13th, 15th and 16th. He sandwiched his three bogeys, at the fourth, 10th and 11th, between the high sports.
Greig Hutcheon from Peterculter finished second on 139, thanks to a strong finish for a 69, which included birdies at the 15th and 17th.
