Duddingston assistant professional Ross Munro won the £150 top pro prize in the Sandy Pipey Young Masters pro-am at Royal Dornoch Golf Club today (Saturday).
Munro and his team of three amateurs - Dougal Chalmers (handicap 1), Gemma Chalmers (2) and Robin Wilson (6) - had a net score of 10-under-par 130.
Dougal and his daughter Gemma, an Angus county team player, come from the Tayside area. Dougal is a member at Panmure Golf Club.
Robin Wilson is Brora-based and is a golf reporter in his spare time, ie when he is not playing golf.
They won by a single shot from the teams led by professionals Stuart Morrison (Tain) (£125), Paul O'Hara (Clydeway Golf) (£100) and Gordon Hillson (Dunbar) (£80). A card countback decided the allocation of prize money.
Individual pro scores were not recorded but it is common knowledge that Scottish Young Professional champion O'Hara's one-under-par 69 was the best round of the day.
