Grandstand finish in Ben Shotgun Pro-Am

Andrew Oldcorn shot his lowest round for some time to win the Ben Shotgun Pro-Am at Archerfield Links in East Lothian. 

The Kings Acre man carded two eagle threes, seven birdies and two bogeys to finish with a nine-under-par 63, and win the £900 top prize.

Starting at the sixth with a birdie, Oldcorn improved to four under with a birdie at the 10th and then carded his first eagle at the 11th.

Then came his quiet spell when he bogeyed the 15th and 17th before a stunnning finish in which he covered his last six holes in seven-under-par with birdies at the 18th and first, an eagle at the second and then birdies at the third, fourth and fifth.

It will not be recognised as a pro course record as the tournament was not played off the back tees - but it was still a score to be proud of.

Oldcorn finished joint eighth in the ISPS Handa PGA Seniors Championship back in June at De Vere Mottram Hall, a performance which earned him £6,669.

This was only his fifth start on the Tartan Tour this season.

Scott Henderson (Kings Links) and Mark Kerr (Marriott Dalmahoy) finished joint runners-up, five shots adrift of Oldcorn on the four-under 68 mark.

Henderson have five birdies and a bogey; Kerr an eagle, four birdies and two bogeys. Both earned £629.

Oldcorn steered the amateur trio of Ken Ronald (handicap 10), Stephen Ronald (6) and John Spieres (18) to victory in the pro-am team event with a net score of 16-under-par 56.
