DAVID ORR'S SECOND WIN IN A WEEK


AFTER SIX-MONTH PGA BAN

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Eastwood's David Orr has come back on the Tartan Tour with a bang following his six-month suspension by the Scottish PGA for a breach of training regulations - he was not putting in enough hours behind the pro shop counter.

Last Sunday he won the £1,435 first prize in the Sandyhills pro-am and today David won the £1,615 top cash award in the £10,000 Drumpellier Golf Club pro-am.

Orr, winner of the Scottish PGA championship last year and one-time Glasgow taxi driver in his spare time, shot a five-under-par 66 to win by a single shot from Hayston's Stephen Gray who earned £1,292.

Banchory's Greig Hutcheon finished third with a 68 for a payslip of £969.

Orr, pictured by Andy Forman, had six birdies, including four in a row from the 13th. His only bogey in sometimes quite windy conditions came at the last in halves of 34 (two under par) and 32 (three under). His first two birdies were at the second and ninth.
David Blackadder (Kingsbarns) led the Drumpellier Golf Club amateur trio of John Fullerton (handicap 16), Ronnie Stark (12) and John Harkess (14) to victory in the team event with a net total of 13-under-par 58.
