MATHEW CLARK WINS EDWARD TROPHY AT GAILES

Kilmacolm's Mathew Clark won the Edward Trophy 36-hole men's open at Glasgow Gailes today (Saturday) in a tight finish after he squandered late shots. Clark shot 70-73 for a one-over-par total of 143. Clark's one-under-par opening round of 70 was the low score of the tournament but, an early starter, he left the door open for the late finishers by bogeying the 16th and 18th in his second round. In the end, he won by one stroke from Keith Hamilton (Ayr Belleisle) (71-73) and Martin Hand (Eden) (71-73). Joint fourth on 145 were Steven Maxwell (Turnberry) (73-72) and Steven Rennie (Drumpellier), also 73-72. Title-holder David Wilson (Troon Welbeck), the former Scottish boys champion, finished ninth on 148 (77-71). The CSS was 75 in the morning and 74 in the afternoon.                                      CSS 75 CSS 74 Player Golf Club Rnd1 Rnd.2 Total Mathew Clark Kilmacolm 70 73 143 Keith Hamilton Ayr Belleisle 71 73 144 Martin Hand Eden 71 73 144 Steven Maxwell Windyhill 73 72 145 Steven Rennie Drumpellier 73 72 145 Scott Brown  Turnberry 70 76 146 Stuart Robin Prestwick St Nicholas 74 72 146 Fraser McKenna Balmore 73 73 146 David Wilson Troon Wellbeck 77 71 148 Richard Docherty Bearsden 72 77 149 Nicky Gold Bonnyton 77 73 150 Andrew McKay Balmore 75 75 150 Naill Lamond Kirkintilloch 76 74 150 Gary Price Paisley 77 73 150 Paul Reilly Lochwinnoch 74 77 151 Christian Kelly Bonnyton 77 75 152 Graham Bolton Bute 76 76 152 Lee Jenkins Elderslie 76 76 152 Edward Shannly Linlithgow 76 77 153 Chris Wood North Berwick 80 73 153 Andrew Fairbairn Cawder 75 79 154 Christopher Prior Bearsden 77 77 154 Mark Cox Glenbervie 80 74 154 Mark Hislop Glenbervie 78 76 154 Malcolm Pennycott Whiting Bay 74 80 154 Alan Laird Strathaven 78 76 154 Jamie Lamb Lanark 77 78 155 Hugh Nelson Kilsyth Lennox 79 76 155 Sam Fitzsimmons Windyhill 78 77 155 Nicky Bell Eden 74 81 155 Grant Beaton Bonnyton 81 74 155 Paul McKellar Royal Troon 75 80 155 Simon Lockhart Bathgate 79 76 155 Fraser Campbell Hilton Park 78 78 156 Craig Chalmers Cawder 77 79 156 Kenneth Gallacher East Kilbride 77 79 156 Colin Peddie Kirkintilloch 77 79 156 Chris Conroy Paisley 75 81 156 Ryan Campbell Falkirk Tryst 80 76 156 Chris Lawton Falkirk Tryst 79 78 157 Paul Gault Westerwood 76 81 157 Scott Moore Clydebank & District 79 78 157 Robbie McLeod Elderslie 76 82 158 Kristopher McClure Clydebank & District 76 82 158 Andrew Cunningham Ranfurly Castle 77 81 158 Paul Gallagher Mourne 82 76 158 James Hendricks Pollok 79 79 158 Colin Baird Bothwell Castle 81 78 159 Scott Gillespie Cambuslang 83 77 160 John Ralston Shotts 85 75 160 Thomas Morrison Kilysth Lennox 83 78 161 David Walker Kirkintilloch 79 82 161 Ewen Mckinnon Corrie 83 78 161 David Curtis Cathkin Braes 81 83 164 Grant Mimmes Kirkintilloch 79 85 164 Andrew Kent Troon Wellbeck 83 81 164 Stephen Ellis Cowal 85 83 168 Paul Gault Snr Westerwood 84 86 170 Ross Hinshelwood Kirkintilloch nr 0 Andrew Wallace  Glenbervie nr 0 James Fleming Bonnyton 75 nr 75 Craig Watson East Renfrewshire 77 nr 77 Owen Lavelle Elderslie nr 78.0 78 Derek Fish Glenbervie 78 78 Mark Robertson Western Gailes 78 78 Ronald Clark Erskine nr 79 79 Michael Smyth Royal Troon 79 79 George Duncan Windyhill 79 79 Duncan Martin Longniddry nr 80 80 James Paterson Hayston nr 83 83 Fraser Paul Windyhill 86 nr 86
