Buckpool's Ruari Mair wins Paul Lawrie Junior Jug tournament

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Buckpool's Ruari Mair shot a 79 in the final round but he still won the Paul Lawrie Foundation Junior Jug Tournament over 54 holes at the Kittocks course, Fairmont St Andrews today (Sunday).
The wind that touched 40mph on Saturday had come down to 25mph for the third round but only five boys broke 80 on the last circuit.
Mair won by two strokes with a total of 229. Campbell Gibson (Blairgowrie) and Ewan Wheat (Royal Montrose) both finished on 231. The tie breaker was the final round so second place went to Gibson with a 75 to Wheat's 77.
Christian Barbour (St Andrews New) shared the first-round lead on Saturday with Mair, both returning 74s, but Barbour was blown away to subsequent rounds of 87 and 84 to finish joint 15th on
245.
