Lewis Watt (McDonald Ellon) won the top scratch prize in a very tight finish at the Deeside Golf Club's Junior Open today (Monday)

Watt, a five-handicapper, shot a one-over-par gross 71 from the yellow tees (par 70, CSS 70) with Ellis Gray (Duff House Royal) and Jason Bruce (Deeside) runners-up on the 72 mark. Gray was placed second with the better inward half.

Lewis Watt couldn't stay for the prizegiving so he is not in the above group picture but that's him pictured on the right.

Finlay Wallace (Portlethen) (5) won the top low handicap award with a net 67 ahead of Deeside members Jack Chambers (10) and Michael Black (11) on 69.

Home course member Jack Brocklebank won the high handicap first prize by 10 strokes with a net 67 off 18. Clubmate Haroun Asher (22) was placed second on net 77 on a better inward half than Boyd Gray (Duff House Royal) (24) who also had a net 77.

The girls' handicap prize was won by Charlotte Jean (Murcar Links) with a net 70 off 23.
Kyle Steel (Murcar Links) won the boys' nearest the pin at the first hole prize.
