Golf: Late show by Lee lands title

Craig LEE, now playing out of Tain Golf Club, won the Deer Park Masters title for a remarkable fourth time yesterday evening after a dramatic three-way play-off that did not end until after 8pm.

Lee, Chris Kelly (Cawder) and Banchory's Greig Hutcheon tied at the end of the 36 holes of regulation play on 13-under-par 131 at Deer Park Country Club in Livingston.

Kelly shot 63 and 68, Lee 65 and 66, Hutcheon 61 and 64 as they finished a shot ahead of fourth-placed Stephen Gray (Hayston).

Hutcheon was eliminated from the sudden-death play-off with a bogey at the second extra hole. Then Lee beat Kelly with a birdie at the third extra hole to win himself a cheque for 3000 and a fourth Deer Park Masters title.
