BRITISH BOYS NEWS AT NOON

JORDAN’S CONQUEROR GOES DOWN
TO SHAUN McALLISTER

Jordan Findlay’s defeat in the third round at Balgownie was avenged this morning by Shaun McAllister, his Scotland international boys’ team-mate.
McAllister, a member of the Craigielaw club, near Edinburgh, beat Belgium’s Joannes Hughes by 3 and 2 on the fourth day of the British boys’ amateur golf championship over the Royal Aberdeen links.
Shaun, the 18-year-old Scottish boys’ stroke-play champion, was a bit fortunate in that his opponent did not play nearly as well as he did in knocking out Findlay.
McAllister took an early grip on the fourth-round tie. He was two up after four holes, then one up after 10 and 13th. Then he quickly clinched his place in the last 16 by winning the 14th and 15th.
McAllister will now play Billy Fowles (Wentworth), a 6 and 4 winner over Myles Frost (Perton Park).
Ross Kellett (Barassie), another member of the victorious Scotland team in last week’s boys’ home internationals at Lossiemouth, had a good win by 3 and 1 over Ireland boy cap Paul O’Kane (Moyola Park).
Kellett was twice one down but had squared the game by the 13th and then won two of the next three holes to go two up with two to play. Ross won the short 17th for victory and now plays Matthew Nixon (Ashton-under-Lyne).
In the other ties involving Scots, Michael Stewart (Troon Welbeck) was four up after 10 holes on Adam Wills (Sandiway) and Gordon Stevenson (Whitecraigs) had a one-hole lead on fellow-Scot Robby Anderson (Duddingston), also after seven holes.
