CALUM KEEPS THE HOME FIRES BURNING

Cawder's Calum Fyfe kept the home flag flying at Portlethen Golf Club today (Wed) in the first round of the 72hole Scottish Under-16 boys' open stroke play golf championship.
But Fyfe had to shoot a five-under-par 67 to hold at bay formidable opposition from outwith Scotland.
Nathan Longley and Matthieu Caron (France) start the second day on 68 and breathing down Fyfe's neck.
A second French challenger in the top five is Antonio Kuoch, who is Under 14 years of age. Kuoch is joint third on 69 alongside Robbie Kemsley (Balmore).
