BOB MACINTYRE WINS ARGYLL AND BUTE MEN'S MATCH-PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

Bob MacIntyre of Glencruitten has tightened his grip on the area's trophies by winning the Argyll and Bute match-play championship at Machrihanish. 
MacIntyre is now in possession of all the scratch trophies available to him, ranging from boys' Under-16  right through to the men’s stroke-play and matchplay titles.

His win was even more remarkable in that he has only just returned from a fractured elbow and this was his first tournament of the year after having to withdraw from the Scottish boys championship at Monifieth and also the Scottish champion of champions tournament at Leven.
MacIntyre's 6 and 5 victory in the final over Bobby Willan of the host club capped a fine performance to continue his dominance of  Argyll and Bute amateur golf.
