LAW, McLEAN, STEWART, GIBSON IN SOUTH AFRICA LAST 16

FROM THE SGU WEBSITE
Hazlehead’s David Law finished top qualifier for the match-play stages of the Northern Amateur Open in Randpark, South Africa and leads a Scottish quartet featuring Philip McLean, Michael Stewart and Scott Gibson who have progressed to the last 16.
A total of seven Scottish players came throughd the 54 hole qualifying stroke-play, cut short from 72 holes due to adverse weather conditions. South African Amateur Championship runner-up Paul Shields together with Kris Nicol and Ross Kellett were defeated in their round of the last-32 matches.
It is former Scottish men's amateur and Scottish boys' championship winner Law who leads the Scottish charge at Randpark. He was an impressive 12 under-par in the stroke-play qualifying.
Quick on the heels of his historic win in the South African Amateur Championship, it is shaping up to be another successful event for Troon Welbeck’s Michael Stewart who finished third in the stroke-play on 10 under-par. The Ayrshireman notched a 3 and 1 victory in his last-32 match in what was four narrow victories for the Scottish contingent that progressed.
He was followed through by top qualifier Law, who won by one hole, with Philip McLean and Scott Gibson also having to go down the final hole. Both won by two holes to join Law and Stewart in the  last 16.
