Arnott delivers the goods at P&H Championship

Robert Arnott's conditional status on the European Senior Tour - gained with a top-14 finish at Q School in February - may give him only limited opportunities but he showed what a threat he can be after outplaying the cream of the Tartan Tour.

Arnott won the £6,000 first prize in the new £39,510 P&H Championship over three rounds at the Dundonald Links today (Wednesday), having already pocketed £1,300 for being the leading senior after 36 holes at the Ayrshire venue.

The Bishopsbrigg Golf Range pro was rock steady with three rounds of 69 for a 10-under-par total of 206.

In his final circuit, Arnott surrounded bogeys at the eighth, 10th and 13th, with birdies at the second, long third, long fifth and seventh, followed by a strong finish to hold David Orr (Mearns Castle), Louis Gaughan (Bathgate) and PGA Cup ace Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf) at bay down the home straight.

Arnott covered the last five holes in three under par, thanks to birdies at the long 14th, short 15th and long 17th.

Orr (67), Gaughan (69) and Fox (69) tied for second place, a shot behind Arnott, on 207 and earned £3,666 each.

Orr had six birdies and one bogey in his best round of the week; Guaghan was four under par for his last eight holes and Fox was one over par for his last seven holes.
