Paul Shields' Inverness win boosts him 68 places in WAGR
By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Paul Shields' victory in the North of Scotland open amateur stroke-play championship for the David Blair Trophy at Inverness on Sunday boosted him 68 places in the RandA World Amateur Golf Rankings.
The Kirkhill teenager is now 384th.
Drumpellier's Steven Rennie, the man Shields beat in a play-off, has gone up 140 places to No 513.
Third-place finisher David Law rises 58 places to 601 but, surprisingly enough, Glenn Campbell (Blairgowrie), who led at halfway and eventually finished fourth, goes down five spots to No 722.
But Peter Latimer (St Andrews New), who finished fifth goes UP27 places to No 329.
One other mystery from this week's revised WAGR. Matthew Clark (Kilmacolm), who did not even play in the North of Scotland event, rises a staggering 144 places to No 491.
James Byrne (Banchory), the highest ranked Scot, went up one place to No 12, probably explained by the fact that England's Tommy Fleetwood, who had been ranked No 3, turned professional.
Scottish amateur champion Michael Stewart (Troon Welbeck) becomes the No 2 Scot in the WAGR for the first time. He has gone up 27 places to No 77 while Ross Kellett (Colville Park) has come down 27 spots to No 86.
