CURRIE HOT STUFF AT THE RENAISSANCE CLUB

Caldwell's Christopher Currie scored his first outright win on the Tartan Tour in today's Back 9 Charity pro-am at The Renaissance Club, near North Berwick. Tournament director Glenn McPhee described the conditions as "horrendous" and it never stopped raining. So a great effort by Currie, 29, to shoot a two-under-par 69 to win the £833 top prize by two shots from David Patrick (Elie Sports Club), a winner at Tain-Brora already this week, Stephen Gray (Hayston) and home course man Ross Dixon. Currie, based in Glasgow, had been knocking on the door for a victory with three top 10 finishes in his last six competitions going into this £4,500 event. The team event was won by the Close House Club - near Newcastle - team of Cath Jenkins, playing off 11, David Stevens (5) and Geoff Thompson (12). Their pro was Andrew Scrimshaw from Close House and they won the day with 87 Stableford points.
