Brotherston's strong late finish for a 70 takes him into two-stroke lead at Bogside

Ian Brotherston (Dumfries and Co) overcame a double bogey 6 at the ninth to stage a strong late finish which carried him into a two-stroke lead over a big field at the Scottish Senior Men's Open amateur tournament at Irvine Bogside Golf Club today.
Brotherson came home in a bogey-free 3 for a two-under-par 70, notching birdies at the par-5 11th, the short 16th and the 18th.
