Ayrshire Winter Golf Association fixture at Troon Portland

Watters and McKechnie joint winners with 67s

Gourock pro Derek Watters (67) was the early leader at Royal Troon (Portland) but was eventually joined in the pole position by Braid Hills' Paul McKechnie.
Difficult  conditions with a strong wind and near freezing conditions made for a testing day on the Ayrrshire links. McKechnie’s joint win follows on from his victory in the previous fixture at West Kilbride .
The amateur winner of the Kernel Rosebowl was Cathkin Braes' John Cameron. John’s  net 65 gave him a four-shot victory from John Green (Cowglen).
