FOX WINS AGAIN - WITH NEW PARTNER
Graham Fox had to find a new partner for today's PGA in Scotland Winter Series of four-ball, better-ball competitions with his regular partner, Alan Reid (West Lothian), a flu victim, writes Colin Farquharson.
But it made no difference to the Clydeway Golf pro's remarkable run of success in this event which has been held every Monday since February 2.
Fox's stand-in partner, Ross Dixon (Renaissance Club) played his part as the pair dovetailed splendidly for a nine-under-par round of 61 at Panmure Golf Club. It was Fox's fifth victory, having won four times with Reid earlier.
Fox and Dixon headed a field of 22 pairs by four strokes to win the top prize of £600.
Their bogey-free round had birdies at the first, second, third, eighth, ninth, 11th, 12th, 14th and 16th in halves of 30 and 31.
Runners-up on 65 were Christopher Currie (Caldwell) and Michael Patterson (Kilmacolm). They earned £450 between them.
The Turnberry Hotel pairing of Sven Nielsen and Ross Leeds won the third prize of £350 with a 66.
