Louis Gaughan wins 
AAM Scottish Par-3
championship with play-off birdie

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Louis Gaughan, the 23-year-old Bathgate tour pro, pipped long time leader Alastair Forsyth (Mearns Castle), 41,  for the inaugural Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Par-3 championship.
He ended the regulation 36 holes (four circuits of Oldmeldrum man Graeme Webster's excellent nine-hole design) level at four under par with Forsyth and then beat Alastair with a birdie at the first extra hole (the 160yd ninth)  of a sudden death play-off.
Gaughan holed the title-winning putt from 4ft after  wind-assisted eight-iron tee shot.
It was Gaughan's first outright victory in a Tartan Tour event. He has shared pro-am wins as he has come steadily to the forefront.
It earned him £3,250. Forsyth's cash prize was £2,250.
The Bathgate player had surged into contention with birdies at the 10th, 11th and 12th on his final circuit and closed the gap when Forsyth bogeyed the 13th and 16th.
 Paul Lawrie (thanks to an excellent last round of 49),  Paul O'Hara, Gareth Wright, David Law and Greig Hutcheon  figured in a five-way tie third place on three under par 105. They earned £1,000 each.
