HARROWER, CAMPBELL AND CAMERON TIE IN INVERNESS

 THREE SHARE SCRATCH HONOURS AT
   
NSGA FIXTURE AT TORVEAN

Saturday's North Scottish Golfers'  Alliance fixture at Torvean Golf Club, Inverness produced a three-way tie for first place in the scratch section and a runaway winner of Class 2 Handicap.

Boat of Garten professsional Ross Harrower and amateurs Allan  Cameron (Fortrose and Rosemarkie) and John Campbell (Grantown on Spey) shared the scratch honours on the two-under-par 67 mark.
Harrower had the best outward half of two-under-par 32 with birdies at the second, third, sixth and eighth, offset by bogeys at the first and fourth and when he notched an eagle 2 at the 10th and a birdie 4 at the 11th, he was in the driving seat.
But bogeys at the 14th, 15th and 16th by the Boat of Garten man allowed his amateur rivals to close the gap.
Cameron and Campbell had matching halves of 33-34 with the first-named birdieing the third, fourth, 10th, 11th and, vitally, the 18th, while Campbell had birdies at the fourth, sixth 10th and 11th.
Campbell had the fewest bogeys but it was his second and last one at the 18th which cost him outright victory.

Leading handicap players were Davie Johnston (Moray), who won Class 1 with a net 66 off five and Mike Lyall of the host club who spreadeagled the field with a net 60 off 13.
