Dunbar pro takes Carnegie Invitational

Neil Fenwick, starting the final round with a five-stroke lead, ended up winning the Carnegie Invitational first prize of £5,600 by four strokes at the Carnegie Links course, Skibo Castle.

The Dunbar tour pro followed up his outstanding seven-under-par first round of 64 with a more pedestrian two-over 73 for a total of five-under 137.

Runner-up was Stephen Gray with scores of 69 and 72 for 141. He received a cheque for £4,570.

Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf) was third on 143 (74-69) to earn £4,000

Fenwick never caught fire as he had done on Monday. A double bogey at the 12th and another  at the 18th took the shine off birdies at the third, fourth, fifth and 13th - but he did have two birdie twos to add to the five he had in the first round.

Gray's winning chance was torpedoed with mid-round bogeys at the sixth, ninth, 11th and 12th.

Fox had six birdies but had a double bogey at the 13th and also shed single strokes at two short holes, the sixth and 15th.

Paul Lawrie finished fourth with a pair of 71s for 144. He ran up a triple bogey seven at the 17th.
