EUROPEAN MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP

GALLAGHER BEST EARLY SCOT IN
EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Cack-handed John Gallagher from Swanston was the leading Scot in the clubhouse with about half the field still to finish their first rounds in the European men’s amateur individual golf championship at Biella Golf Club, near Turin in Italy today
Gallagher shot a two-under-par 71 to be six shots behind pacemaker Switzerland’s Damian Ulrich with an eight-under-par 65.
Scottish open amateur stroke-play champion Scott Henry (Cardross) had a two-over-par 75, one shot ahead of last year’s Scottish match-play champion Glenn Campbell (Blairgowrie).
Twice Scottish match-play finalist Paul O’Hara (Colville Park) matched the par of 73.
Jordan Findlay (Fraserburgh), soon to return to start a second year at East Tennessee State University, had a disappointing 77.
New Scottish champion Kevin McAlpine (Alyth) won the title at Nairn too late to be included in the Scottish Golf Union squad for this championship. Entries had to be lodged with the European Golf Association prior to the Scottish championship – and McAlpine was not regarded as being in the top bracket at that stage.
