WARDELL AND MANN FLYING WITH THE EAGLES AT SCOTSCRAIG

Paul Wardell (North Berwick) and Fraser Mann (Carnoustie), tied third in last week's event at Crail GS, stepped up to first place in today's PGA in Scotland's fifth Winter Series Four-ball 18-hole competition at Scotscraig Golf Club, Fife, writes Colin Farquharson
They shot a five-under-par, better-ball 66 to win by a shot from joint runners-up Christopher Currie (Caldwell) and Michael Patterson (Kilmacolm), and Alan Reid (West Lothian) and Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf), winners of the first two events.
Wardell and Mann made their score at three par-5 holes with an eagle 3 at the ninth, a birdie 4 at the 14th and another eagle 3, this time at the 16th.
With a smaller field than usual, only 13 pairs, the winners' financial reward amounted to £300.
