Doak Triumphs In Callaway/Audi 36-Holer

Published in:

Chris Doak eased to his first victory of the new Tartan Tour season in the Callaway/Audi 36-holer at Craigielaw.

The former Scottish PGA No.1 fired a three-under 68 for a six-under aggregate of 136 and won by three shots from last year's order of merit winner, Greig Hutcheon.

Doak made an early charge with a trio of birdies on the first three holes but dropped shots at eight, 10 and 11 halted the momentum. The former Northern Open champion bounced back with birdies at 13, 15 and 16 to claim the honours.

Chris Russell, who shared the halfway lead, sagged to a 73 and finished third on 140 while Kenny Hutton, who was tied for top spot after round one, slipped to a 74 and fell back into a share of fifth with Graeme McInnes and former European Tour player Adam Hunter.

Mark Loftus, the Scottish PGA champion, closed with a 72 for 143 while Andrew Oldcorn, the winner of the opening Callaway event at Monifieth earlier this month, had to settle for a share of 12th on 144. Ronan Rafferty, the European No.1 in 1989, also finished on 144 after a 74.
