Golf: Robertson’s rain dance at Monktonhall
The event was reduced to 36 holes after Saturday’s play was washed out completely and it was a battle at times to keep play in progress yesterday. But, to the delight of Stirling University student Graeme Robertson, the two rounds were completed. He shot rounds of 72 and 69 for a one-under total and a two-shot win over Adam Dunton (McDonald Ellon) and Eamon Bradley (Mount Ellen).
It was Robertson’s first victory in an SGU Order of Merit event after he’d come close on several occasions this year.
