DAVID LAW WINS, LAURA MURRAY RUNNER-UP IN NE ALLIANCE AT ABOYNE

David Law won the £150 top prize in today's North-east Golfers Alliance competition at Aboyne.
The Paul Lawrie Golf Centre tour pro shot a four-under-par 64 to head a field of 97.
Runner-up was Laura Murray, who also plays out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre. The Alford-based professional hit her best form for months with a 66.
Jim Emslie (Royal Aberdeen) was third with 69 on a day when the CSS was 69, one above the standard scratch.
Law started inauspiciously with a bogey 4 but got into gear with birdies at the fourth, fifth and seventh in an outward two-under 32. Then he birdied the 12th, 13th and 18th, dropping his only shot after the turn, at the 16th.
Laura had the best outward half of the day - 31, which was studded with birdies at the second, seventh and ninth. She did not have a birdie after the turn, eight pars and a bogey at the 16th in an inward 35.
Jim Emslie started bogey-bogey but birdied the third and fifth, and later the 10th in halves of 35 and 34.
