IN-FORM McKINNON SHARES EASTWOOD

PRO-AM VICTORY WITH FORROW

Irvine Golf Club professional James McKinnon, winner of the two-day Scottish Wateraid pro-am at Barassie in his native Ayrshire last week, maintained his good form to share victory with Alastair Forrow (Whitecraigs) in today's 0£5,500 Eastwood Golf Club pro-am, Glasgow.

McKinnon and Forrow both had one-under-par 69s to head the field of 19 professionals in the £5,500 invitational event.

McKinnon almost scored a double whammy by leading home the winning team in the pro-am returns but his team were beaten on the card countback by the Outreach Ltd amateur trio of Gary Potts (17), Graeme Cross (17) and Graham Dempster (18) whose team professional was Scott Gillespie (Burntisland). They also totalled a better-ball 11-under-par 129.
