Gareth Wright wins Northern Open but

only by a shot from Gavin Hay



Twice Scottish PGA champion Gareth Wright, pictured above, made virtually the running to win the Northern Open championship at Nairn Dunbar Golf Club today.
The Welshman had rounds of 65, 68, 72 and 71 for a 12-under par aggregate of 276 to win the title and the top prize of £1,100
Well clear of the field at halfway, Wright saw his lead greatly reduced in the third round by Paul O'Hara but it was Grantown on Spey's Gavin Hay, playing out of Mearns Castle, who finished runner-up, only one stroke short of forcing a play-off.
Hay shot 71, 67, 71 and 68 for 277 and a £800 reward
O'Hara finished third on 278 with scores of 72, 67, 67 and 72. He earned £600
