BROTHERSTON IS GREAT SCOT IN FRENCH SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Ian Brotherston (Dumfries and County), one of Scotland's leading senior amateur golfers, scored a notable victory on the Continent at the weekend.
Ian, who has a handicap of +2, won the French senior amateur international championship by four strokes at Golf Club de Granville, La Baule with rounds of 71, 74 and 76 for 221.
Brotherston stole a march on the field of 127 with an outstanding, sub-par first round and it looks as if the last two rounds were played in bad weather, judging by the high scores.
But the Scot, well used to conditions far from perfect, ploughed on in the lead to finish four shots clear of joint runners-up Jean-Max Megroz (France) (74-75-76) and England's Robert Messervy (73-75-77).
