FRASER'S THE MANN IN SCOTTISH ALLIANCE CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER

Carnoustie's PGA senior professional champion Fraser Mann set the pace in the first round of the Scottish Golfers' Alliance 54-hole championship over the Monifieth Links medal course with a two-under-par 69.

Winner of the World Hickory Championship recently (that's Fraser pictured with the trophy), leads the field of 105 by one shot from four players, Kenny Hutton (Downfield), Craig Lawrie (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre), Marc Owenson (Gullane) and Jamie McLeary (Deer Park).

The amateurs' lead on two-over 73 is shared by Stewart Finnie (Caledonian), Jake Scott (Moray) and Brian Nicolson (Hazlehead).

In the handicap section, Alan Gall, who plays off eight at Bishopbriggs, is in the pole position with a net 69.

There is a cut after 36 holes. Those who miss the cut will have the opportunity to play in a consolation 18-hole competition over the Ashludie course.
