GRANTOWN'S JOHN CAMPBELL WINS NORTH ALLIANCE at Muir of Ord

John Campbell (Grantown) won Saturday’s North Scottish Golfers’ Alliance fixture at Muir of Ord with a round of 68 which included two birdies (106th and 16th) and two bogeys (seventh and 12th).
Many competitors were unable to avoid at least one big number on the tight lay-out. Of the three runners-up on 70, Bryan Fotheringham (Inverness) had the best chance of overhauling Campbell , but four dropped shots including a long delay in front at the last were costly.
