Bruce from Banff and Nairn's Gillies reach Scottish boys' quarter-finals


By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Callum Bruce (Duff House Royal) and Logan Gillies (Nairn) are the only North players through to the quarter-finals of the Scottish U18 boys' championship at Scotscraig Golf Club, Fife.
Marc Watt (Inverallochy), the No 2 seed who was strongly fancied for the title after top qualifier Darren Howie (Peebles) lost his first tie, was beaten in the third round, 3 and 1 by James Morgan (Longniddry).
As so often happens, giant-killer Morgan was cut down to size in in the fourth round, beaten 6 and 5 buy Nathan McCulloch (Kingsknowe).
McCulloch is Bruce's quarter-final opponent. Bruce qualified for the match-play in 10th position with a score of 149, one better than McCulloch .
The 18-year-old from Banff is the lowest qualifier in the last eight which also includes Lewis Irvine (Kirkhill), beaten in last year's final by Eric McIntosh (Bruntsfield).
McIntosh was beaten by one hole in the third round by Aidan Smith (Edzell) who lost his next tie to Irvine by one hole.
Logan Gillies from Nairn squeezed through at the 20th in his third round tie but was a 3 and 2 winner over Matty Wilson (Forres) in the fourth.
Euan Orr (Kemnay) was  knocked out in the fourth round, beaten 2 and 1 by Dean Walsh (Lochgelly) who is Gillies' opponent in the quarter-finals.
Walsh has already claimed one North scalp in Steven Pears (Nairn Dunbar), beating him 3 and 2 in the the third round.

Chris MacLean wins Dumbartonshire Golf

Union stroke-play championship by 7 shots

 

  

FROM JOHN STRUTHERS

Dumbartonshire Golf Union secretary

A magnificent course record-equalling 62, 8 under par, in the 2nd round of Sunday's championship at Kirkintilloch Golf Club, to go with an opening level par round of 70, saw Chris MacLean (Balmore) win by 7 seven shots from Balmore team mate James Wilson.

 

The top 16 qualifiers will contest the Match-play Championship at Hilton Park Golf Club in the week commencing 10th July. Unfortunately Chris is one of the players unavailable that week.

 

Balmore won the team competition for the Wylie Trophy and will represent the Area in the Scottish Championships later in the year.

 

The photograph shows Chris MacLean being presented with the trophy by DGU president Alan Bell.

 

 

Stewart Henderson wins Cadzow Cup for fourth time

Stewart Henderson with the Cadzow Cup and Hamilton GC captain Frank Donnelly

Stewart Henderson of host club Hamilton won the Cadzow Cup  by seven shots with two excellent scores of 70 and 69 for 139 which is three under par.

Stewart signed off in style with a 30 foot putt at the last for a birdie!  He has featured well this year in the Scottish Seniors circuit but proved once again he is still a master of the Lanarkshire 36 hole events.

Henderson  won the Club Championship at Hamilton last week at the 37^th hole but his seven-shot victory on Sunday  was slightly more comfortable.
