FOUR TIE FOR VICTORY AT MONTROSE PRO-AM

FOUR PROS TIE FOR VICTORY AT 

MONTROSE LINKS WITH 69s

Greg McBain (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre), Alan Welsh (Cathkin Braes), Patrick Walker (Ballumbie Castle) and Hayston's Stephen Gray tied for first place with two-under-par 69s in the Petrofac Montrose Links pro-am today (Saturday).

It was the first time this season that McBain, Welsh and Walker had figured in the pole position but Gray had won previously six times, dating back to February.

They each earned £901
Cawder's Chris Kelly is usually nearer the top than the bottom of the scoresheet but this was a day he will want to forget. Kelly had a 10 at the par-5 15th and a 7 at the par-4 seventh in a score of 14-over-par 85.

Joint winner Patrick Walker also led the Petrofac Training 2 team to victory in the pro-am with a net aggregate of 15-under-par 127, winning a card countback against two other teams on the same two-ball total.
 His amateur partners were Jack Douglas (handicap 4), Michael Holley (16) and Scott Larkin (scratch).
