Fenwick takes lead into Tomatin final day
02/10/2014
On the face of it Neil Fenwick is hot favourite to win the £6,000 first pro prize in the Tomatin Single Malt 54-hole pro-am.
The Dunbar man leads on 133 - three strokes ahead of Gavin Hay (Nairn Dunbar) and four clear of the joint third-placed Paul O'Hara (Clydeway Golf) and Stephen Gray (Hayston).
But it is not quite as clear-cut as that.
Fenwick leads but he is eight-under-par after a brilliant seven-under 63 at Royal Dornoch followed by a one-under 70 at Nairn.
He finishes his campaign at Castle Stuart.
Hay, the Scottish young professionals champion, is only one behind in accumulative par terms – seven-under-par after a three-under 68 at Nairn in the first round and a very good four-under 68 at Castle Stuart. He finishes at Royal Dornoch.
O'Hara is by no means out of the hunt with rounds of 68-69 for 137. On the same mark is Stephen Gray (70-67) who certainly knows what it takes to win this tournament.
This is only the third year the Tomatin has been held and Gray is bidding for a hat-trick of triumphs.
