GUNN EARNS $2,835 FOR JOINT 2ND FINISH IN WINDY ARIZONA

Arizona-based Dornoch pro golfer Jimmy Gunn, after leading or sharing the lead through the first 36 holes of the All-American Professional Golf tour event at Sunridge Canyon, Fountain Hills, Arizona, had to settle for a joint second-place finish.
Jimmy (pictured) earned $2,835 for scores of 65, 70 and 72 for a six-under-par total of 207 - two shots behind the winner of the jackpot prize of $10,330, American Brady Schnell (68-67-70).
In very windy conditions, Gunn quickly dropped out of a share of the overnight pole position when he bogeyed two of his first four holes but he retrieved the situation somewhat with birdies at the sixth, seventh and ninth, offset by a third bogey at the eighth.
A bogey at the 15th put him one over par for the day on the par-71 lay-out, but he regained level par status for the final round with his fourth birdie of the day, at the 16th.
From there the Highlander needed at best a birdie-birdie finish for victory. Instead he found himself plugged in a bunker at the 17th which cost him a bogey. A par at the last earned him joint second place alongside American Danny Wax.
Gunn is now fifth on the All-American Pro Tour's money table for the winter schedule with earnings of $8,887.
