ADAM HUNTER CHARITY PRO-AM


Mark King (Kingsfield) and Rowallan Castle's Graham Fox shared the honours today (Friday) in the Friends of the Beatson Charity pro-am, played over the Queen's Course, Gleneagles in memory of Adam Hunter (pictured), who died of leukaemia last year.
Hunter was coach to Paul Lawrie among others and famously steered the Aberdonian to victory in the 1999 Open championship play-off at Carnoustie.
Lawrie would have been in the Gleneagles field but for his commitment to play in the Dunhill Links Championship but Paul would have been thinking about his late friend and mentor.
"There's scarcely a day I don't think about Adam. I miss him so much," said Lawrie.
There was no prizemoney at stake in the pro-am with all the proceeds going to the Friends of Beatson Charity.
King and Fox tied for first place with four-under-par 64s - two shots ahead of senior campaigner Peter Smith, based at Deeside Golf Club as a teaching pro.
Three teams headed the pro-am leaderboard with net Stableford points of 81. Victory went to the Aberdeen Asset Management trio of Bill Greenhalgh (handicap 18), Bruce Angus (13) and Alan McPhee (16) who had Craig Ronald (Carluke) as their pro.
The other teams who hit the 81 mark were Tulloch Recruitment (pro Stephen Gray) and CCG (Scotland) Ltd 2 (Campbell Elliott).
The Paul Lawrie Foundation team, with Stuart Gray as pro, finished fourth on 79.
