Lanarkshire beat Ayrshire at home
Lanarkshire sneaked a 4.5-3.5 victory over Ayrshire yesterday at Lanark in the West of Scotland Inter County League. Ayrshire, who started the campaign with three victories, looked like adding a fourth until a dramatic swing in fortune in the last two holes of the final three matches.
Walker Cup star Jack McDonald gave Ayrshire the perfect start with a narrow 2 and 1 win over Lanarkshire number one Steven Rennie and another early win for Steven Wallace put Ayrshire in front.
However last-hole wins for Kenny Gallacher and Andy Steven plus David Cardwell winning the last two holes put Lanarkshire in the winners’ enclosure.
