HUGH HUNTER'S CLACKMANNAN COUNTY NEWS
Clackmannan County president Hugh Hunter congratulates Scott Borrowman after his fine win at Leven on Sunday.
STYLISH SCOTT TAKES TITLE AT LEVEN.
Dollar’s Scott
Borrowman likes Leven Links…. in many years of competing in the major events
held there, the former Youths Champion has taken a third place and a runner up
spot, but a win has always eluded him. That was corrected last weekend in the
cold conditions when he emphatically won the 2013 Scottish Champion of
Champions title by three shots. Scott
led from start to finish, and with one round to go he led by four shots. He struggled to the turn in the last round in
two over par starting with a double bogie, but corrected the situation with a
run of three birdies in four holes from the 10th, and could even afford the
luxury of three putts on the last hole to win by three shots from Matthew
Clark. It’s the first win by a
Clackmannan player since Michael Niven won in 1974, and should consolidate
Scott’s place among the elite Scottish Amateur golfers.
Braehead’s Allan
Watson , the current County
Champion finished a
bit further down with rounds of 70,
78,76,77
Champion of Champion
2013---leading scores. (Par 284)
1. Scott Borrowman (Dollar) 70,67,72,71 280
2. Matthew Clark (Kilmacolm) 71,69,73,70 283.
COUNTY GOLF
TEAM CRASHES AT ALLOA
As many golfers will
tell you, golf is a funny old game….. just when you think you are on top of it,
it all goes wrong. Well the County Golf
team discovered this last weekend when they went down by 6 matches to 2 on home
ground against Angus
County in the second match
of the Provan Salver series. Crumbs of
comfort came from Team Captain Darren Hulston who won by 4/3 and home player
David Milloy who won by 2/1. The final
match of the Provan Salver will take place in three weeks time against Fife at Burntisland.

ALEXANDER MAKES LAST 32
Braehead’s Rikky
Alexander had a good run in the Scottish Boys Championship at Monifieth,
winning 3 matches before losing to the eventual semi-finalist. Rikky played some good golf in his matches
especially his third round tie where he recovered from one down after 14 to
take the match on the 17th green after some fine approach play to the greens.

Gillespie (Balmore) 2/1
Rd 2 beat Callum
Connacher (Wishaw) 4/3

on the seaside links but all lost in the first round.
