SCOTTISH JUNIOR TOUR REPORT FROM WALTER BURNS

LUKE MURDOCH BREAKS 80 ON A DAY WHEN TAY BRIDGE CLOSED TO HIGH-SIDED VEHICLES

Here are the results from the Scottish Junior Golf Tour event at Drumoig yesterday. It was a Level 5 event. 

Drumoig, as usual, was in great condition for the time of year with fast greens. It was a very difficult day for scoring with winds so strong that the nearby Tay Bridge was closed to high sided vehicles. 

We decided to play off the back tees as a real challenge to their performance skills. At just under 7,000yds, this would be good preparation for the Scottish boys' championship in April.

Only the irrepressible Luke Murdoch from Loudoun Gowf managed to break 80. However, most of the boys stuck to the task well in such testing conditions. Another great learning experience.

 

LEADING SCORES

79 Luke Murdoch (Loudoun Gowf)

80 David Fair (Hamilton), Murray McCrone (Troon Welbeck), Will Porter (Letham Grange)

81 George Burns (Williamwood), Euan Gill (Inverness)

82 Conor MacCallum (St Andrews), Aran Sinclair (Bearsden)

83 Fraser Kane (Kirkhill), Ally McDougall (St Andrews)

85 Ross White (Muckhart)

Fraser Kane and Ross White won the short game skill challenges.
