A GRAND PERFORMANCE BY LOMAS

AT BUCHANAN CASTLE PRO-AM

Shropshire-born Jonathan Lomas, the 1994 European Tour Rookie of the Year who now lives in South Ayrshire between Turnberry and Troon, chipped in at the last to win the £1,111 top prize in today's £7,000 Buchanan Castle Golf Club pro-am.

Lomas, who won the 1996 Czech Open during his European Tour career, birdied the last for a six-under-par 64, which pipped Mark King (Kingsfield Golf Cenre) by a shot. King earned £889.

Lomas had seven birdies in all - at the first, fourth, sixth, eighth, 12th and 18th. His only bogey came at the 13th.

Four players tied for third place on 67 - Stephen McNally (Scottish Institute of Sport), Paul McKechnie (Braid Hills), host club professional Jason McCreadie (Buchanan Castle) and James Clive (Carrick). They each earned £475.

Ladybank's Alan Lockhart, who figured in a three-way tie for seventh place on 68 led the Risk Management Partners Team 5 of Charles Reppke (handicap 8), Derek Urquhart (11) and Joan Allan to victory in the team event with a net score of 15-under-par 55.
