The 2014 Carr Golf Invitational Pro-Am culminated with a wire-to-wire, runaway victory for Scottish PGA champion Gareth Wright, pictured above, West Linton Golf Club's Welsh tour pro.

Gareth Wright earned another 500 euros as he and the
West Linton GC trio of amateurs, Austin Carey, Brian Chamley and Brian Maxwell (284) finished third in the pro-am team event behind Paul Hollenbaugh’s New Albany Country Club team of Ken Weixel, Barry Holmes, and Brad Weixel
