Golf: Jordan Findlay wins the Alliance

Fraserburgh's Jordan Findlay, recapturing the form that saw him reach two British boys' championship finals in a row as a teenager, outstripped his amateur and professional rivals to win the Scottish Golfers' Alliance championship by the comfortable margin of five strokes at Murcar Links.

Findlay's rounds of two-under-par 69 in a half-gale on Day 1 at Murcar Links, a one-under 70 in the second round at Newburgh and a repeat 69 on his return to Murcar for the last round, gave him an excellent final total of six-under-par 208.

"I was brought up playing golf in the wind at the Broch (Fraserburgh)," said Findlay.

Anthony Bews finished second - the first 1-2 amateur finish in the Scottish Alliance championship for a long time. Paul McKechnie (Braid Hills) (72-73-69) and Terry Mathieson (Dunbar) (69-72-73) finished joint third.
