Another Tartan Tour win for Henderson

Aberdeen Kings Links tour pro Scott Henderson scored his second win in nine days on the Tartan Tour with a six-under-par 65 to collect first prize of £1,056 in the Edzell Golf Club pro-am.

Henderson, who had won at Kemnay, also within easy reach of his Aberdeen base, had six birdies – at the first, third, 10th, 11th, 16th and 18th (where he got down in two from 80 yards) – and only one bogey, at the sixth, in halves of 34 and 31. He won by a shot from the long-time clubhouse leaders Alan Lockhart (Ladybank) and Stephen Gray (Hayston) whose 66s earned them £739 apiece.

l A talented young Angus team look set to earn a place in the four-cornered Scottish women’s county golf championship finals at Montrose Links in September. They have won their first two matches in the Northern Division team championship at Monifeith and will be favourites to beat Northern Counties – beaten by Aberdeenshire yesterday – in today’s closing matches to take the divisional title which is the key to a place in the national finals.

l Lawrence Allan won the weekend Scottish Hydro Junior Tour Event No 3 at Rowallan Castle, Ayrshire. The Clackmannan player was two shots clear of Scottish boys’ match-play champion Craig Howie (Peebles).
