Ian Brotherston v Ian Renne in Carnegie Cup semi-final

By ROBIN WILSON
Former Scottish international Ian Brotherston (Dumfries & County) will meet last year's beaten finalist, Ian Rennie (Royal Dornoch) in Saturday morning's first semi-final of the Carnegie Shield competition at Royal Dornoch.
In the other half of the draw, defending champion Andrew Biggadike (California) was ousted by local Chris Mailley in their quarter final and now Mailley meets US college based student Peter Latimer, the third seed, from the New Club, St. Andrews.
Leading qualifier, Brora's Calum Stewart (16) one of the youngest to win the Silver Medal as leading local qualifier won his opening two match-play games but then in his Carnegie debut had his first big test when he came up against Brotherston in the last eight.
Playing a miserable wet afternoon the experienced Brotherston held the upper hand over the opening holes and established a three hole lead after seven holes. The teenager had his best spell round the turn cutting Brotherston back to one hole but a missed opportunity at the 11th gave the visitor back a two hole advantage which he held to the 17th green where he got down in two from the back of the green to win 2&1.
