FOTHERINGHAM COMPLETES NORTH SCOTTISH ALLIANCE DOUBLE

Bryan Fotheringham won the North Scottish Golfers' Allliance championship for the Sir Hugh Mackenzie Trophy by two strokes at Nairn Dunbar GC with a three-under-par 69 (34-35).

Fotheringham, pictured, thus completed a double. He had already won the NSGA's aggregate rounds' title.

He birdied the first, ninth, 12th, 14th, 15th and 18th, offset by bogeys at the eighth, 11th and 13th.

Grantown tour professional Duncan Stewart was two under after 11 holes but a two-over-par run of 5-5-5

left him with too much leeway to make up on the winner. Stewart finished with a 71.
