BRADLEY AND GABRIELLE TOP OF THE

UNDER-16S CLASS AT THE GLEN

Blairgowrie’s Bradley Neil, Scottish Under-14 boys’ champion for the past two years, showed his class with a three-under-par round of 67 to win the first event today in the Scottish Golf Academy’s Under-16s Winter Series at the Glen Golf Club, North Berwick.

Craigielaw prospect Gabrielle McDonald headed the girls’ field with a one-under-par 72.
In perfect scoring conditions, Neil, using a new set of Taylormade clubs, was out in one-under-par 34 and covered the inward half in two-under 33.
He won the boys’ section by two shots from Euan Walker (Kilmarnock Barassie). They were the only two competitors to break the par of 70 which was also the CSS for the boys’ competition.
Alexander Wilson (Gullane) and Robert Hughan (Newton Stewart) shared third place on 70.
McDonald’s 72 saw her finish two shots ahead of Clara Young (North Berwick) and four better than the third-placed Lindsey Stevenson (Elie and Earlsferry). The girls’ CSS was 73.
The second of the four SGA Under-16s Winter Series events will be held at Strathmore Golf Centre on Sunday, November 21.
