PORTPATRICK'S JAMES ERSKINE WINS CLEVELAN D GOLF AND SRIXON INVITATIONAL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Cleveland Golf and Srixon Invitational Pro-AM 2013 has
been won by Portpatrick Golf Club’s James Erskine. Played on the Kintyre and
Ailsa at Turnberry, the 36-hole competition saw 44 UK-based professionals
battle it across two days on the Scottish links courses. After day one, local
man Erskine held a 3 shot lead over last year’s winner Keith Baxter (Buchanan
Castle Golf Club) and Raymond Burns (Lisheen Springs Golf Club), having shot a
round of level par on the Kintyre course.
It proved to be an
insurmountable lead for the chasing pack, as Erskine went on to play a near
perfect display of tee-to-green golf to hold onto his lead on the historic
Ailsa championship course. As reward for his efforts, Erskine picked up the
trophy and winner’s cheque for £2000.
Erskine said: “I’m
delighted to have won this event and keep up the winning run for us Scots in
the competition. This is an incredible event to even be a part of so to end up
winning the professional event makes me very proud. I’d like to thank everyone
at Cleveland Golf and Srixon for making this such a memorable event.”
The team event was won
by Darlington Golf Club’s team of Simon Calvert and Simon Jones. The pair
started the final round in the last group, facing off against the team of Steve
Harrison and Richie Armstrong from Stocksfield Golf Club. A strong finish from
the Darlington team saw them eventually claim victory by 6 shots after making
an eagle at 17 and following it up with a birdie down the last.
Calvert and Jones have
now won themselves the trip of a lifetime to next year’s US Masters tournament

Armstrong said:
“Myself and Simon are just over the moon to have won. Neither of us have ever
been to the US Masters before so obviously we are both now incredibly excited.”
