HAMILTON MAKES MOVE IN SOUTH OF SCOTLAND ORDER OF MERIT

FROM GRAHAM SHARPE

No changes at the top of the South of Scotland Golf Association Order of Merit, updated after the MacRobert Salver but it is good to see another two stalwarts of South golf get on to the OOM!

Stranraer's Colin Hamilton has made a move in the last couple of weeks and home advantage at the South could see him finish well up.

Still all to play for but the South Championship and Matchplay is going to have a big say in who wins the OOM.
