By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Alastair Forsyth (Mearns Castle Golf Academy) maintained his recent outstanding form by winning the Pollok Golf Club shotgun pro-am today with a 10-under-par round of 61 which earned him £875.

He finished five strokes ahead of runner-up Paul McKechnie (Braid Hills) who earned £700 for his 66.

There was a three-way tie for third place - £413 each - on 67, featuring Paul O'Hara (North Lanarkshire Leisure), Gareth Wright (West Linton) and David Orr (Eastwood).

 

Forsyth scored a double whammy by leading the Ravenstone amateur trio of Jerry Brown (handicap 17), Craig Collins (15) and Graham Lochart (11) to victory by four shots with a net total of 122 in the team event.

The leading five pros in the team event each earned a £100 bonus.
