NEIL FENWICK'S FIRST WITH 65 AT NEWMACHAR

By COLIN FARQUHARSON Colin@scottishgolfview.com  Dunbar's Neil Fenwick scored his first win of the season on the Tartan Tour with a seven-under-par 65 in today's Newmachar Golf Club pro-am, sponsored by Fairways (GM) Ltd and Ransomes Jacobsen. Fenwick, who had had 16 top-10 finishes this year without a victory, made it at last, thanks to an eagle 3 at the eighth and birdies at the fifth, 10th, 14th, 16th and 18th. The Dunbar pro's prize of £926, coupled with £110 for fourth in the team event, gave him his biggest payday of the season. Under the shotgun start format, Fenwick finished at the 17th with his only bogey of the round but, on a very wet course, he still had three shots to spare from runner-up Paul McKechnie (Braid Hills) who earned £741. Ellon's Ross Cameron (Saltire Energy), who finished joint third with David Patrick (Elie Sports Club) on 69, led the Westerton UK Ltrd trio of Les Burr (handicap 14), Scott Sutherland (6) and Colin Stevenson (10) to victory in the pro-am teame vent with a net score of 15 under ar 129.
