Scot Campbell makes winning pro debut on 

1836 Tour at Vale of Llangollen with a 69

By COLIN FARQUHARSON 

Scotland amateur international Ryan Campbell from Falkirk Golf Club, playing in his first event as a professional, won on the 1836 Tour at The Vale of Llangollen, Wales today with a three under par 69. 

Campbell, pictured, won by one shot from in-form Joe Dean from Hillsborough GC and local player Rhodri Fieldhouse from Wrexham. 

The first three holes at Llangollen are good birdie chances and despite three pars Campbell played the next five holes in level  3s and birdied the 11th to go to five under par on a day of freezing cold temperatures and a stiff breeze.

 After back-to-back bogeys at the 12th and 13th, Campbell reeled off  five solid pars to lead on 69.

Dean had six birdies in his round of two under  70 to share second place with Fieldhouse. 

 Tom Perry and James Maw shared fourth on 71. 

The next 1836 Tour event is at Dunham Forest on Tuesday, May 3 and 4. There are few than 20 places to be filled.
