LOMAS AND CRAIG SHARES HONOURS IN FIFE

FORMER EUROPEAN TOUR ROOKIE OF 

YEAR TIES FOR ABERDOUR VICTORY

Chesterfield-born Jonathan Lomas, pictured left, now based at Caprington Golf Club, Ayrshire, and Dunfermline's Stephen Craig, back in Scotland this season after a lengthy spell in Germany, scored their first wins of the year in the Renault (Scotland) Aberdour Golf Club pro-am at the Fife venue.

Lomas was the 1994 European Tour Rookie of the Year and won the Czech Open in 1996 as well as scoring two successes on the Challenge Tour.
He and Craig hit the three-under-par 67 mark to earn £412 each with contrasting rounds.

Craig, pictured right, had a bogey-free round highlighted with birdies at the fourth, ninth and 13th.
Lomas had six birdies (the second, foujrth, 10th, 11th, 13th and 14th) and three boys, at the fifth, ninth and 15th.
They finished a shot ahead of former Tartan Tour No 1 Colin Gillies (Kingsfield) and Andrew Marshall (Houston Golf Range) who earned £275 each. A double bogey 5 at the short 18th cost Marshall victory. He had earlier had an eagle and four birdies.
Jamies Stephen (Aberdour) led the Falc Nutech team of Gary McWilliams (handicap 18), Craig Hempseed (56) and Stephen McGregor (6) to victory in the pro-am team event with a 16-under-par net total of 51.
