DOUBLE-EAGLE KELLY WINS MONTROSE PRO-AM

Chris Kelly chalked up two eagles and five birdies in a round of five-under-par 66 to win the top prize of £1,186 in today's Petrofac Montrose Links pro-am.
Cawder pro Kelly got a 2 at the shortish par-4 eighth by driving the green and his second eagle, a 3, came at the par-5 15th. He also birdied the long sixth, seventh, ninth, 13th and short 16th in an outstanding round that saw him finished three shots ahead of runner-up Jamie Carver (unatt).
Carver also gained an eagle 2 at the short eighth and birdied the fifth, 10th and 13th but bogeys at the second, long sixth and 16th meant he could not mount a challenge to Kelly. 
Former Curtis Cup player and past Scottish women's champion Michele Thomson finished a creditable eighth with a 73 which earned her £261.
Carver led the amateur trio of Jeff King (handicap 10), Gavin Hemsley (1) and Wayne Henderson (2) to a four-stroke victory with a net score of 124 in the pro-am team event.
