Peterculter amateur prevails at Peterhead

TONY ROBERTSON WINS FOR THIRD TIME 

ON N.E. ALLIANCE CIRCUIT THIS SEASON

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Peterculter amateur Tony Robertson chalked up his third win on this season's North-east Golfers' Alliance service with a four-under-par 66 (33-33) at Peterhead today 

Robertson, pictured, reinstated since his days as an assistant when Alan White was club professional at Murcar, shot seven birdies in halves of 33, the vital ones coming at the 17th and 18th.
That ensured he headed a field of 70  by a shot from Newmachar amateur John Duff (33-34), who also birdied the last two holes, and Sam Kiloh 33-34) , an improving young pro from the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre stable.
Craibstone teaching pro Lee Vannet had the best inward half of three-under 32 and that enabled him to tie for fourth place with Azerbaijan-born pro Kamran Zeynalov (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) and Hazlehead amateur Brian Nicolson.
Royal Aberdeen amateur Stewart Finnie, a past Aberdeen Links champion, had the best outward half of three-under 32 but took 39 blows to get back to the clubhouse and tied for 10th place.
