By COLIN FARQUHARSON Colin@scottishgolfview.com Ayrshire teenager David Wilson, winner of last year's Scottish boys' golf championship after a remarkable comeback from eight down in the final, scored his biggest victory since then in the Glasgow Golf Club's 36-hole open event for the Edward Trophy at Glasgow Gailes on Saturday. Wilson (pictured at Murcar Links by Kenny Smith of the SGU), who reached the last 32 in defence of his Under-18 national boys title at Murcar Links recently, had two fine rounds of 70 for a total of 140 - two under the testing par of 71 and nine shots under the combined CSS of 149 (74-75). He won by four strokes from Craig Ross (Kirkhill) (72-72) with four players tied for third place on 146. First-round leader with a 68, Steven McEwan (Loudoun) crashed to an 80 in the second round for 148 and a joint 10th finish.
