LAW LURCHES HOME TO SECOND PRO WIN - ERROR-STREWN LAST NINE HOLES


David Law has earmed 5,000 Euros in scoring his second win as a professional in the Sueno Dunes Classic at Belek, southern Turkey - but he almost let a big lead slip out of his grasp over the closing holes.
His previous win - also on the German PGA's EPD Tour (renamed this season the Pro Golf Tour) - was in Morocco last year.
Law made all the running in this one but almost came a cropper over the last nine holes which cost him a nightmare 41 shots.
David had a triple bogey 6 at the short 17th and also dropped shots at the 11th, short 12th and 18th, having birdied the third, short seventh and eighth to be out in 31, matching his best of the three days.
Law was 14 under par for his first 44 holes and six over par for his last 10!
Fortunately the Scot had built up a big lead because he needed it to make it to the winning line.
He finished with a three-over-par 72 - 10 more than he required for his first round - for an eight-under total of 199 and a one-stroke victory from the chasing pack.
Rookie pro Daan Huizing, fellow Dutchman Floria de Haas and Germany's Benjamin Miarka tied for second place on 200, a shot behind Law. 

David Law now plays out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre. So too do North-east team-mates, Jordan Findlay (Fraserburgh) and Peterhead's Philip McLean. But neither was able to survive the 36-hole cut.
Later David Law E-mailed Scottishgolfview.com with these quotes;

"I'm absolutely delighted to win in only my second tournament of the year," said Law later.
"It's encouraging because I've been working hard at the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre with my coach Billy Fyfe on my long game and with Paul on my short game so it's great to see it's paying off.
"Maybe a little complacency set in on 17 when I tried to get a little too aggressive at a par-3 hole when I knew I had a five-shot lead and that cost me a triple bogey 6 ... but I'm just happy to have won!"
