PAUL LAWRIE FIRST, CRAIG

LAWRIE 2nd AT PETERCULTER

Paul Lawrie has a 100 per cent success rate through two outings on the North-east Golfers' Alliance circuit this season. A winner at Newmachar in late September, he reappeared at Peterculter Golf Club today - not all that far away from his Bieldside house, to the west of Aberdeen - and headed a field of 100 with a four-under-par 67 to win the £150 first prize.

It was a Lawrie family 1-2 finish on bright, sunny day when the start was delayed one hour due to frost. Craig Lawrie, Paul's elder son, filled second place, one shot behind his dad on 68.

But for a double bogey 7 Craig would have beaten his old man. As it is Lawrie junior won the £120 runner-up prize.

Local member Tony Robertson, a reinstated amateur, finished third with a 69, highlighted by an eagle 2 at the 395yd par-4 fourth hole.

Paul Lawrie, who cut his competitive teeth on the NE Alliance circuit as an assistant pro at Banchory, had six birdies - the fifth, sixth, seventh, 12th, 14th and 17th in halves of 33 (three under) and 34 (one under).

His two bogeys came over the closing holes, at the 13th and 16th.

Craig Lawrie made up for his 7 at the seventh with birdies at the sixth, ninth, 12th, 16th and 17th in halves of 36 (level par) and 32 (three under).

        "No returns" ran into double figures again, most of them in the closing stages when the hour-delay at the start of competition because of frost meant the   tail-enders finished in near-darkness. 
         Many of the field of 100 thought the condition of the Peterculter course was excellent and the putting surfaces tip-top as well.
         One player told me: "The Peterculter course has matured extremely well. I did not play very well but I still enjoyed this lay-out on the banks of the River Dee much more than I thought I would. "
