David lays down the Law again

in weather-hit McEvoy Trophy

New Scottish boys' match-play champion David Law (Hazlehead) has carried on his fine form at Balgownie on the first day of the Peter McEvoy Trophy for Under-18 year olds at Copt Heath Golf Club, Solihull in the English Midlands.

The start of play was delayed for sometime due to a thunderstorm.

Eventually 27 holes were completed towards the scheduled four rounds.

David Law, who won't be 18 until May 4, demonstrated that his stroke-play ability is on a par with his match-play prowess. He led after 18 holes with a five-under-par 67 and maintained that lead at the end of another nine holes which he covered in 35 for an end-of-the-day total of 10
The Aberdonian, pictured in action at Copt Heath by courtesy of Tom Ward Photography, leads by one shot from Tom Lewis (Welwyn Garden City) who earned a trip to Brazil last week in the first of the Nick Faldo Series regional qualifiers.

Law's great North-east rival, Kincardine O'Neil-based Chris Robb (Inchmarlo) is in joint 21st position with 71 and 38 for 109.
Scott Gibson (Southerness) had scores of 72 and 38 for 110, which earned him a share of 32nd place.

Paul Shields (Kirkhill), beaten finalist in the last two Scottish boys' match-play championship finals, is sharing 39th place on 111 with scores of 74 and 37.

Aberdeen's Jack Scott (Deeside) had scores of 79 and 34 for 113 and a share of 54th place.

A total of 73 players took part.
