Grant Browman retains Angus boys' county match-play title

Seventeen-year-old Grant Bowman from Monifieth Golf Club has retained his County Matchplay title.
In the morning semi-final Grant was behind for most of the round mainly due to his opponent
Ian Douglas's remarkable short game skills. Grant turned the match his way with a great 40 foot
birdie putt at the long par 3 14th then a magnificent 3 iron 2nd shot into 15 feet at the par 5 17th
sealed the match.
In the other semi-final, former Scotland under 16 cap Ross Storrier from Downfield prooved to be
too strong for Caird Park's Connar Cook with a masterfull display of iron play and putting to set up a
comfortable winning margin by 6&5
The final was the expected clash of the two top seeds in Bowman and Storrier. With never more than
1 hole in the game it was Bowman who gained the mometum when when he struck a magnificent 3 wood
to the edge of the 17th green to go dormie 1 up. Storrier almost holed a seemingly impossible bunker shot
at the last which would have forced extra holes leaving Bowman to confidently sink his 2 foot par putt
for victory.
