Law lowers Hazlehead

record with a 61 (-9)

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Last year's Scottish men's and boys' amateur champion David Law has shaved a shot off the course record at his home course, Hazlehead.
David had a round of nine-under-par 61, one under the 62 set by Braemar's Graeme Mitchell junior in the North-east boys' championship three or four years ago.
"I was just hitting it close all the way. The longest putt I think I had was from about 15ft to save par at the ninth after birdieing six in a row from the third to the eight," said David who was out in six-under-par 28 and home in three-under 33 with birdies at the 10th, 15th and 17th. Law's scorecard read:

OUT - 4 4 3 2 3 3 3 3 3: 28.
    IN - 3 4 3 4 4 4 3 4 4: 33.
