BRIAN SOUTAR ODD SCOT OUT IN SOUTH AFRICA - MISSES M/PLAY

South African open amateur championship winner Brian Soutar (Leven Golfing Society) was the odd Scot out at the end of the 72-hole Northern Open Amateur Stroke-play golf championship at Randpark GC, Gauteng in South Africa.
Soutar tied for 32nd place after an uncharacteristic last round of 77 put him on the 292 mark.
Only the leading 32 go forward to the tournament's match-play championship and Soutar lost out in the card play-off for the final position among four players who totalled 292.
Scott Crichton (Aberdour) finished joint ninth in the stroke-play with a final round of 73 for 282 - two shots ahead of Paul Shields (Kirkhill) who also closed with a 73.
James White finished joint 19th on 289 with a last-round 75 while Fraser McKenna (Balmore) pulled himself up into the match-play with one of the best last rounds, a 67 (11 shots better than his morning third round, which gave him a total of 291
This is the last event of the SGU Elite Squad's extended training stay in South Africa.
