Paul Lawrie wins with eight-under 65 at Drumoig

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Paul Lawrie won today's Big Johnson's Tour event at Drumoig with a brilliant score of eight-under-par 65 over the par-73, 6956yd course.

The 1999 Open winner, chalking up his second win in two appearances on the circuit, shot three eagles in an inward half of six-under 30 - at the par-4 10th and par-5 15th and 17th.

He also had four birdies and two bogeys

Hard luck on Kevin McAlpine to score a seven-under 66 and finish second on a day when Lawrie was in top form.

Organiser John Henry would like to thanks Paul and The Paul Lawrie Foundation, Devel Golf , Golf Marker Systems and Bridge Golf Scotland for sponsoring the event over a Drumoig course which was in great condition.

Lawrie now tops the order of merit with 300 points. The top ten players qualify for the tour championship  at Dundonald Links on Sunday, October 9
