Forsyth's smash and grab win at Bathgate pro-am


By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Alastair Forsyth (Mearns Castle) smashed through a leaderboard logjam - six players tied on par 71 - with a scintillating round of three-under 68 in very windy conditions to win the Bathgate Golf Club pro-am by three strokes at the head of a field of 40 competitors.
It was his third Tartan Tour pro-am win of the season, following successes at Pollok and West Lothian and his 12th top 10 finish.
The first prize of £1,332 was Forsyth's biggest of the season and boosted his earnings to £7,310.
His smash-and-grab victory was achieved with an eagle 3 at the fifth and birdies at the first, seventh, 12th and 16th in halves of 33 (three under) and 35 (level par) . He bogeyed the fourth, 13th and 17th.
The six who tied for second place - last year's winner Chrisopher McMaster (Downfield), Stephen Gray (Lanark), Jonathan Lomas (Caprington), Steven O'Hara (North Lanarkshire Leisure), Graeme Brown (Montrose Links) and Robert Arnott (Bishopbriggs) - earned £615 each.
Andrew Marshall (Houston Golf Range) led the Jim Jamieson Juniors team of Josh Beveridge (handicap 11), James Wood (16) and Charlie Mowbray (18) to victory in the pro-am by two strokes with a net score of 56,
The pros with the leading five teams each earned £160. The others were:
58 A Forsyth. 59 G Forbes. 60 G Forbes. 61 G Hay.
