By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Stephen Easingwood (Dunbar), winner of the Scottish open amateur stroke-play championship 27 years ago - in 1988 - today turned the clock back to his days of glory by winning the prestigious Edward Trophy 36-hole open event at Glasgow Gailes.
Easingwood had rounds of 73 and 72 for a total of three-over-par 145, finishing a stroke ahead of Matthew Clark (Kilmacolm) 71-75 who hd led him by two after the first round.
Ed Wood  (Crow Wood) came third with 76 and 72 for 148.
The CSS for both rounds was 76, indicating that there was a bit of a wind down Ayrshire way today.
