Lesser lights shine at
North-east District
Open at Newburgh

Several members of the Scotland team for the forthcoming home internationals at Muirfield are in the field for this weekend’s North-east District Open 72-hole SGU Order of Merit event at Newburgh-on-Ythan.
But, in quite breezy conditions at the coastal course, it was four “lesser lights” who set the first-round pace at three-under-par 69.
Scottish schoolboys champion Chris Robb (Inchmarlo), US college circuit player Scott Larkin (Banchory), Kris Nicol (Fraserburgh) and Ross Young (Nigg Bay) all hit the three-under-par mark as the CSS for the round went up to 74.
