Fox and McKechnie end on a high

Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf) and Braid Hills' Paul McKechnie won the final Tartan Tour event of the year - the Glenmuir Winter Series four-ball better-ball at the Mar Hall course, Bishopton near Glasgow.

Fox (above) and McKechnie combined well to post a better- ball score of seven-under-par 63 over the 6,507yd course. They divided the first prize of £750.

Joint runners-up in a field of 26 pairs were Jason McCreadie (Buchanan Castle) and Robert Arnott (Bishopbriggs) who tied on 65 with Steven Rettie (Callaway Golf and David Andrews (Bonnyton).

The Robinson brothers, Paul from Largs and Colin from Prestonfield, finished just out the prizes after a 68 which included a better-ball eight at the first hole! They covered the remaining 17 holes in a better-ball six-under-par.

This was the last year of Glenmuir's sponsorship of the Winter Series so the PGA in Scotland is on the look-out for a new sponsor for the popular event.
