STEWART WATT DOES IT AGAIN

The Duncan Trophy is awarded by Renfrewshire Golf Union to the County Youth Match Play Champion.  It is contested by the leading sixteen youths from the Stroke Play Championship and Renfrew Golf Club provides the venue.

The defending champion was Stewart Watt from Old Course Ranfurly and he fought his way to the final where he met Craig Pirie who had the advantage of playing on his home course.  The final was a high quality, closely fought battle and local knowledge seemed to be favouring Craig as he sank a succession of putts to go two up.  Stewart fought back but, with three holes to play, Craig was one up and looking confident.

Stewart was determined to have the trophy on his shelf for another year and won both sixteen and seventeen to go one up with one to play.  A half in par at eighteen was enough to see the cup return to Bridge of Weir.
