Rob Craw wins first Seniors winter event at Strathmore

The first of this year's Scottish Senior Golf Society winter events was played at Strathmore in perfect golfing weather and won by Glenbervie's Rob Craw.

The course was in excellent condition with the subtle borrows on the greens making every point well earned.

Two-handicapper Craw came out on top with 40 Stableford points, 20 in each half, the highlight being a birdie at the difficult 18th.

Alister Raphael (St Andrews) was runner-up, a point behind with 39pts. He made his score with a level par back nine. He was closely followed by six players sharing third place on 38pts.
