By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Deeside Golf Club's Junior Open scratch trophy was won by a home player, Jason Bruce, with a round of one-over-par 71.
Liam Strath (Hazlehead) also posted a 71 but was placed second after a card countback.

Bruce, a five-handicapper, had gross halves of 37 and 34, including birdies at the sixth, 14th and 17th, while Strath, who plays off four, had halves of 36 and 35, including birdies at the sixth, eighth and 12th. It all boiled down to the last hole where Bruce had a par 4 and Strath a bogey 5.
Cameron Black (Royal Aberdeen) finished third with a 72.
There was a field of 63 - 62 boys and one girl - making it one of the biggest junior opens in the North-east.
