MONIFIETH MAESTRO HUTCHEON

GIVES THEM ALL A START -

AND WINS BY TWO AT HOME

It takes a good man to beat the ‘Monifieth Maestro’ on his home patch – and nobody got within two shots of Ian Hutcheon by the end of the East of Scotland Seniors Open over 36 holes of the Monifieth Links.
Hutcheon, pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency, gave the others a chance with a mediocre opening round – by his standards – of five over par 76 but he came storming up through the field with a second round of three-under 68 for a total of 144.
Tony McIntyre (Lundin) was runner-up with 75 and 71 for 146.
David J Miller (Kilmarnock Barassie) and David Smith ( Stirling ) shared third place on 147.
The CSS was 75 for the first round and 73 for the second.
