SCOTT AT THE BRITISH AMATEUR

Dollar's Scott Borrowman made the journey to Lancashire last week to
test his skills in the British Amateur played over Formby and West
Lancashire. There were 25 Scots in the field of over 200 and only five
made the cut for the match-play section after two stroke-play rounds.
The cut fell at 147 and Scott missed by three shots with scores of 77
and 73.
His first round of 77 over Formby in difficult conditions left him the
difficult task of reaching the last 64. Local golfers may remember
Callum Macaulay making the cut in the same event in 2007 and 2008, and
in 2007 reaching the semi-final.
The 2009 champion is a 16-year-old Italian, Matteo Manassero, and he
now goes on to the Open at Turnberry this year and the Masters next
April.
Scott followed up his British Amateur appearance with a 19th place
finish in the Tennant Cup at Glasgow Golf Club's Gailes and Killermont
courses. Again the 2008 winner was Callum Macaulay.
This coming weekend Scott features in the East of Scotland event at
Lundin Links where he has been drawn with Grant McNab, a former Alloa
golfer who achieved a youth cap for Scotland a number of years ago.
