It's Farmer versus Barr for D M Hall

Scottish Mid-Amateur title

FROM THE SCOTTISH GOLF UNION WEBSITE
Andrew Farmer and Nicky Barr, the leading qualifiers in the stroke play stages, have both made it through to the final of the D M Hall Scottish Mid-Amateur Championship after narrow semi-final wins at Royal Burgess Golf Club, Edinburgh this morning..
Farmer, the former British Mid-Amateur Champion and Scotland internationalist, won his match against defending champion Ross Coull on the first extra hole of a great battle this morning. The 35-year-old from Kilmalcolm passed up a great chance to clinch the match on the 18th green, missing a 4-foot birdie putt allowing Coull to level and take the match back up the first.
However Coull’s tee-shot on the 19th hole found sand and despite a good recovery shot, he failed to get up and down to match Farmer’s solid par.
In the second semi-final, former Scottish Boys international Barr was always in command against Crow Wood’s Robert Jenkins. An eagle at the 6th hole put the Perth & Kinross man one up before extending his lead to two hole with a birdie two at the 8th.
A par four at the 10th was good enough to extend his lead to three holes, however birdies for Jenkins at the 12th and 16th closed the gap to one hole but a costly bogey at the 17th from Jenkins presented 26-year-old Barr with a 2&1 victory.
