SOUTH WIN SENIORS' AREA TEAM TITLE FOR FIRST TIME

By KEITH HOWIE
South of Scotland, led by captain Ian Brotherston, produced an excellent performace to win the SSGS area team championship over breezy Musselburgh today.
Brotherston, pictured on another trophy-winning occasion, led from the front with a sparkling 71. Out in 40 his round caught fire on the inward half with a brilliant 31 which included three putts at the final hole. His team of George Rodaks, Tony Clark, Ian Fraser. Graeme Sharp and Gordon Doig all contributed to a well bonded effort.
Runners up were 2010 champions Glasgow who pipped home team Lothians by virtue of a lower discard score.
Individual performance of the day was a remarkable 69 by Dumbartonshire’s Ian Jeen with a display of excellent control of flight and direction. This would have been even better but for a three putt from 7 feet at the difficult 15th.
