SANDY PIRIE WINS BATTLE OF

PAST WALKER CUP PLAYERS

Former Walker Cup player Sandy Pirie (Hazlehead) won the trophy named after him at the inaugural Scottish Super Seniors amateur golf tournament at Stirling Golf Club today.
Pirie, the instigator of the tournament for over 65s, tied with another past Walker Cup man, Scott MacDonald (Dunfermline), on the three-over-par 147 mark at the end of 36 holes.
Sandy had to birdie the last hole of his second round for a round of 72 to finish level with first-round leader MacDonald who drifted from an opening 71 to a 76.
Pirie won the play-off with a par at the second extra hole, the 18th, to be the first recipient of the Sandy Pirie Trophy which was donated by the Scottish Senior Golfing Society for annual competition.
The over-70s trophy was won by Duncan MacCallum (Sitrling) with scores of 77 and 78 for 155 – three shots ahead of clubmate Bruce Hunter (81-77).
There were 36 competitors in the 65 to 69 years category and 11 in the 70 years and over.
