David Law finishes fourth in Peter

McEvoy Trophy stroke-play event

Scottish boys champion David Law (Hazlehead), the overnight leader, finished joint fourth in the Peter McEvoy Trophy boys' tournament at Copt Heath Golf Club, Solihull in the English West Midlands.
Normally a 72-hole event, bad weather reduced the opening day to 27 holes instead of 36 and the results were declared over 63 holes, i.e. three rounds of 18 + the second round abbreviated to nine holes.
Law played well enough to return a one-under-par tally of 247 (67-35-72-73) but was overhauled over the last two rounds. While David's aggregate for rounds three and four added up to three-over-par 145, the boys who finished ahead of him scored under 140 for the final 36 holes. That was the difference.
Victory went to Max Smith (Newbury Racecourse) with a five-under-par total of 243, made up of 69-35-69-70.
He won by one shot from Billy Downing (Truro) whose final two rounds of 69 and 67 added up to the best second-day total. In all he scored 71-37-69-67.
Chris from Kincardine O'Neil, a member at Inchmarlo Golf Resort, Banchory, finished 13th on 251 with scores of 71-38-71-71
