KEMNAY PRO-AM

Paul Lawrie finishes joint third

behind winner Chris Kelly

European Tour player Paul Lawrie had to settle for a share of third place as he attempted to repeat last year's victory in the £5,500 Kemnay Golf Club pro-am.

Lawrie finished on four-under-par 67 (32-35), two shots behind the winner, Chris Kelly (Cawder) who picked up the £895 first prize with a flawless card of 65 (33-32).

Kelly birdied the second, fifth, sixth, 11^th, 12^th and 15^th to finish one shot ahead of the in-form David Orr (East Renfrewshire).

Greg McBain (Royal Dornoch) and new PGA Cup player Craig Matheson (Falkirk Tryst) tied with Lawrie for third place.

Russell Smith (Gleneagles Hotel) led the amateur trio of Barry McLean (handicap 4), Scott Cameron (6) and Davie Singer (16) to victory in the team event with a net score of 17-under-par 125.
