Forsyth pips Patterson for Sandyhills pro-am victory

Alastair Forsyth proved once again that he is the man to beat in Scotland after recording his sixth win of the season at the Sandyhills Pro-Am on Sunday.

The PGA in Scotland's leading money winner shot a five under par round of 65 to claim victory in Glasgow and take home the £1,317 top prize.

Forsyth, of Mearns Castle Golf Academy, made the perfect start by picking up an eagle at the third and birdies at the fourth and sixth soon followed.

He birdied the 11th and short 17th with his only bogey coming at the 14th to finish on five under par 65 and taking home the £1,317 top prize, which boosts his season's earnings to £12,237.

One stroke behind in second place was Michael Patterson (Kilmacolm) who also had an eagle, coming at the par four 11th. Four birdies and two bogeys at the 12th and 16th earned him £1,054.

Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf) finished joint third on 67 with Neil Fenwick (Dunbar), Gavin Hay (Grantown on Spey) and Chris Currie (Caldwell).

Fox boosted the £563 he received by leading the S Boyd 1 team to victory in the pro-am team event. His amateur partners were Steven Boyd (handicap 16), Chris Harvey (10) and Ian Wilson (8) and their best ball net score was 14-under-par 56.

Sam Binning and Davie Stein's teams also hit the 56 mark but lost out in a card countback.

Fox, Binning, Stein and the pros with the teams who finished fourth and fifth on 57, Greg Paxton and Keith Grant, all earned the same fee, £155 each.
