LAWRENCE ALLAN WINS AT ROWALLAN CASTLE BY TWO SHOTS FROM CRAIG HOWIE

By COLIN FARQUHARSON Colin@scottishgolfview.com Clackmannan's Lawrence Allan from the Alva club won the weekend Scottish Hydro Junior Tour Event No 3 at Rowallan Castle, Ayrshire by two shots from Scottish boys' match-play champion Craig Howie (Peebles). At the end of Saturday's miserable conditions of wind and rain, Allan and Howie were locked together in the lead on nine-over-par 151, both boys having two double bogeys apiece over the first nine holes. In Sunday's much improved weather, Allan forged four shots clear of his rival with a bogey-free, three-under-par 68 in the third round  and Howie could get only two of the defucut back with a final round of 70 to Allan's 72. Allan finished on seven-over-par 291 to Howie's 293, the pair outstripping the field. Paul Reilly (Lochwinnoch) finished third on 298 after a very good closing round of 69.
