Scots fall short at Nairn Dunbar

SCOTLAND'S hopes of a home winner of the world one-armed golfers' championship at Nairn Dunbar Golf Club this week were snuffed out in the first round of the match-play stages.

Only two Scots qualified and Stuart Griffin (Stirling) was beaten by two holes by American Gary Marshall while Douglas Jopp (Craigielaw) went down by 6 and 5 to Sweden's Alex Hjalmarsson.

Marshall and Hjalmarsson were then themselves KO'd in the quarter-finals.
