HOME-COURSE WINNER KENNY CORRECTS PGA WEBSITE FIGUREFS

By COLIN FARQUHARSON 
Every golf club professional worth his salt likes to think he could beat all-comers over his home course - and Downfield's Kenny Hutton lived the pipedream today  when he beat a fair section of the top Tartan Tour pros in the RBS Discovery pro-am.
Hutton shot an four-under-par 69 which was not so eventful as the PGA Scotland website figures made it out to be.
Kenny was good enough to E-mail his correct figures to http://www.scottishgolfview.com/.
"It was actually quite an uneventful round," he said. "I birdied the second, seventh, ninth, 16th and 18th and had one bogey, at the 12th."
The PGA Scotland website credits the Downfield pro with seven birdies, a double bogey at the short 11th and a bogey at the 14th. "Not so," says Kenny. However he put it together, it was still a very good round - too good for the opposition on the day.
Hutton's round was almost out of the textbook, but runner-up Paul Wardell  had a distinct touch of variety about his.
The Whitekirk pro had an eagle, six birdies, a double bogey and three bogeys in compiling a three-under 70, one short of sharing the honours with local hero Hutton.
Wardell's consolation prize was £670.
