DUFF AND SEAN LAWRIE SHARE

ALLIANCE HONOURS AT ALFORD

Professionals John Duff (Newmachar) and Sean Lawrie (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) shared the honours in today's North-east Golfers Alliance competition at a very windy Alford Golf Club.

They jointly headed a field of 92 players with three-under-par 66s and earned £145 each.

Duff, pictured, who holds the NE Alliance one-season record total of wins - NINE in 2016-2017 - shared last week's victory at Kintore with Craig Lawrie.
Scottish amateur champion Sam Locke (Stonehaven) won the £50 voucher for the leading amateur score, a 71, outwith the main scratch prizelist.
