John Gallagher shoots a 10-under 58 at Swanston
FROM THE EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS
Cackhanded former Scottish amateur champion John Gallagher warmed up for a big couple of weeks on the PGA EuroPro Tour by shooting a sensational 58 over the new lay-out at Swanston. His ten-under-par effort came in a club medal, Gallagher having been given permission to play in such events by the club to try and retain his competitive edge.
Gallagher, whose playing partners included director of golf Stewart Snedden, picked up two eagles in the opening seven holes before adding six birdies, including a 3-2-3 finish.
"I also shot 58 over the old lay-out but this is my best score round here to par, even in a bounce game," he said.
Gallagher is off to Kent at the weekend to prepare for an event at Prince's next week before moving on to Devon for the fourth event of the season on the PGA EuroPro Tour.
CARSON CLOSE TO NOTABLE DOUBLE
Edinburgh's Robert Carson came close to recording a notable double in two top scratch events at the weekend.
The Marriott Dalmahoy player had the lowest scratch score of three-under-par 66 in the Loreburn Cup Open tournament at Dumfries & County, having been pipped by former British Amateur champion Craig Watson in the Parlane Open at Cathcart Castle the previous day.
Carson shot rounds of 66 and 70 in the latter and lost out by just one stroke.
