REILLY IS RENFRESHIRE JUNIOR CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS AGAIN
RENFREWSHIRE GOLF UNION
PRESS RELEASE
Paul Reilly of
Kilmacolm Golf Club has become the first player to win the Renfrewshire Golf
Union Junior Champion of Champions for three consecutive years. A quick check of historical records show that
only two players (Murdoch Carmichael and Ian Darroch in the Freedman Trophy)
have equalled this feat.
Paul had made
short work of Erskine’s Martin McCorkell in the semi final contest with a 6 and
5 win over a wet and windy Paisley course.
His opponent was to be Alasdair McDougall (Elderslie) who also won
convincingly against Old Course Ranfurly’s Champion, Ross Robertson.
In an earlier round, Alasdair had faced the
challenge of Colin Edgar who started with three birdies but was only one up
with Alasdair shooting an eagle at the third hole. Such is the quality of this competition.
In the final,
Reilly took control and a birdie at the tenth hole and solid golf in difficult
conditions took him to 3 up at the twelfth.
McDougall showed his top level experience and determination with a
birdie at the next hole and a par into a stiff wind at the fifteenth took him
back to only one down. Paul withstood
the challenge and parred the remaining three holes to win one up.
A great final and
an historic moment for young Paul.
