MURPHY WINS SENIORS EVENT AT CARDROSS

Derek Murphy (Kinross) won the West of Scotland seniors' tournament by three shots with a two-over-par total of 144 at Cardross Golf Club today (Friday).

Murphy virtually won the 36-hole tournament with a brilliant first round of three-under-par 68 which saw him surge five shots clear of a field of 95.

A second-round 76 left the door if not open, then slightly ajar for the chasing pack led by Phil Dempsey (Tulliallan) and Colin Halcrow (Windyhill). But they gap was too big to make up and they tied for second place on 147, both with similar rounds of 73-74.
