SCOTTISH PGA CHAMPION PIPS THREE CLUBHOUSE LEADERS
GARETH WRIGHT WINS DUDDINGSTON
CHALLENGE BY A SINGLE SHOT
Scottish PGA champion Gareth Wright, in the last group to finish, pipped clubhouse leaders Scott Henderson, Paul O'Hara and Robert Arnott, to win the PGA in Scotland's 36-hole Duddingston Challenge by a single shot at the Edinburgh venue.
Wright shot 68-71 for five-under-par 139
Henderson (71-69), O'Hara (70-70) and Arnott (68-72) tied for second place instead of being involved in a play-off which looked a possible outcome until Welshman Wright's round moved into red figures after bogeys at the second and 11th had cancelled out a first-hole birdie.
The West Linton man moved up a gear with a hat-trick of birdies from the 12th and he had enough in hand to be able to bogey the 16th and still pick up the first prize of £1,500.
Henderson put himself in the title picture with an eagle 3 at the 17th, a whole which O'Hara birdied.
Senior Arnott birdied the first and ninth and then wiped out his gains with a double bogey 6 at the 11th. He could do no better than pars down the run-in.
Henderson, O'Hara and Arnott each earned £1,033.
Joint fifth on 142 were Greig Hutcheon (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) (73-69), Gavin Hay (Nairn Dunbar) (71-71) and Andrew Oldcorn (Kings Acre) (71-71), each receiving £600.
Kevin Phillips (Winterfield) and Keir McNicoll (Gullane), in a four-way tie with Wright and Arnott for the overnight lead on the four-under 68 mark, both came to grief with second-round 75s as they were overshadowed by playing partner Wright in the last trio out on the course.
Phillips had a triple bogey 7 at the ninth and a double bogey 6 at the 16th.
McNicoll's bogeys (five) outnumbered his birdies (2).
They finished joint eighth on 143 alongside five others, including Heather MacRae (Gleneagles) (73-70). All seven earned £325.
