BUSY MAN STEPHEN GRAY TOPS

TARTAN TOUR MONEY TABLE

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Hayston professional Stephen Gray, the busiest man on the Tartan Tour, has topped the PGA Scottish Region money table for 2012 with earnings of £28,879 from 63 competitions.
Gray, 36, pictured, won seven pro-ams during the year, four of them outright, three of them jointly.
He was fifth in the money table in 2007, fourth in 2008 and third in 2009 so the No 1 position this year confirms his standing as one of the most consistent players on the Tartan Tour.
Second in the final cash table was Aberdeen Northern Open winner Greig Hutcheon with £26,251 from 39 outings and Chris Doak came third with £24,118 from 37 events.
Hutcheon won the Order of Merit ahead of Craig Lee and Chris Doak. Gray finished ninth.
