Three pros tie at Crieff

Fraser Mann (Carnoustie, above), Alastair Webster (Edzell) and Montrose assistant Graeme Brown tied for the top scratch prize in this week's Midland Golfers' Alliance competition at Crieff.

All three scored five-under-par 66s on a shortened winter course in perfect scoring conditions at the Perthshire-based club.

Bill Crosbie, who plays off five at Blairgowrie, won the leading handicap award by two strokes with a net 64.
