US COLLEGE STUDENT NELSON WINS ROYAL DORNOCH CLUB TITLE

Cameron Nelson, a 21-year-old third-year student at Oakland University in the state of Michigan, won the Royal Dornoch Golf Club championship on Saturday

Nelson, who plays off +1, won the title on the back of two good scores over the third and fourth rounds, played in quite windy conditions.

Nelson had been trailing James Bunch, the 1993 Scottish boys stroke play champion, by four strokes  at the halfway stage but a round of 70 on Saturday morning saw him draw level with leader Bunch who has a +3 rating.
In the afternoon final round, Nelson forged clear with a 69 for 286 to Bunch's 73 for 290.
