MATHESON, BROWN AND MCKENDRICK TIE FOR FIRST IN MIDLAND ALLIANCE FIXTURE AT STRATHMORE

This week the Midland Golfers' Alliance held the Tayside Cash Registers Team Competition at Strathmore Golf Club in Perthshire. There was a three-way tie for the leading scratch prize with assistant professionals Craig Matheson (Falkirk Tryst) and Graeme Brown (Montrose Links) sharing first place with Dunkeld scratch amateur  Stuart McKendrick.

The trio each returned a four-under-par score of 68. Scotland international James White, a +3 member of Lundin Golf Club, finished fourth, one stroke behind on 69.

There was also a three-way tie for the top handicap award with Ryan McGuigan, who plays off 3 at Monifieth, Alister Duncan, a four-handicapper at Murrayshall, and Blairgowrie's Scott Miller, who plays off 12, all returning net scores of 69. 

Ryan also helped his team of Graham Milne (Aberdour) (5), Ron Bell (Pitlochry) (7) and Bert MacKay (Pitlochry) (14) to win the team competition with a net score of 57.
