ISAACS IN THE MONEY IN SPAIN BUT ST JOHN CRASHES OUT WITH AN 83

Scots Malcolm Isaacs and Blake St John had contrasting fortunes in the final round of the Spanish Gecko Pro Tour 36-hole event at Aloha Golf Club on the Costa del Sol today.

Isaacs, pictured, attached to the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, notched an eagle 3 at the long 16th and finish joint 12th on 147 (72-75) and earn 325 Euros.

Glasgow rookie St John, poised to gain is first prize money as a pro after an opening round of two-under-par 70, crashed to a second round 83 for 153 and plummeted to a final placing of joint 32nd - well outside the money list.

He had no birdies in his final round and the lowlight among the frequent bogeys was a  double bogey 7 at the long seventh.

Spaniards continue to monopolise the Gecko Tour. Marcos Pastor, joint halfway leader with Englishman Rod Bastard, edged to victory and a 2,000 Euros pay-out with a final round of 73 for 139 - one ahead of Bastard who closed with a 74 and had to settle for 1,000 Euros.
Pastor had four birdies in a row - 10-11-12-13 - in his final round.
