WEST OF SCOTLAND ALLIANCE REPORT

Stevie Gray and Chris Currie share spoils at Dundonald

By JOHN R CARRELL
A total of 71 amateurs and 22 professionals contested the West of Scotland Golfers' Alliance competition at Dundonald Links this week.
Conditions were very favourable with only a light wind. Later on the sun came out to provide excellent conditions to end the day. The course, once again, was in fantastic condition and we would all like to thank the mamagement, ground staff and clubhouse staff for helping to make our day successful.
Hayston's Stevie Gray came in late in the day to share first place on four-under-par 68 with the early leader, fellow pro Chris Currie (Caldwell).
Currie finished his first half one over par but produced six birdies, including five in a row, and a bogey to grab the early lead.
Gray finished his first half two better than Chris with a one under par 35. He then bgoeyed the 10th but managed to muster two birdies and an eagle up the last to equal Currie's score of 68.
New member Jonathan d'Aguillar carded a net 68, playing off 11, to win the handicap prize. Richard Deakin, handicap 11, secured second place with a net 73.
Seniors prize went to Hugh Smith with a net 76 off eight.
