NELSON AND FITZPATRICK JOINT WINNERS IN "BUCHAN BREEZE" BROCH

Professionals Colin Nelson (Mackenzie Shop) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (Inchmarlo Golf Centre) headed a field of 63 in a gale-force wind with an icy chill for the North-east Alliance competition at Fraserburgh. For good measure, there was also rain so the surprising feature of the day was that there were only 13 No Returns. Nelson and Fitzpatrick had matching five-over-par 75s to share the first and second prize money  Fitzpatrick had four birdies to Nelson's one but had a double bogey 6 at the 13th. They won by two shots from  a pair of amateurs, Duncan Clark (Duff House Royal) and Stewart Finnie (Caledonian) on 76.
