AYRSHIRE MATCHPLAY CHAMPIONSHIP - play suspended due to thunder storm

The final of the Ayrshire Matchplay Championship at Troon Portland on Thursday night, 4th May, was suspended after 10 holes as thunder and lightning swept over the Ayrshire coast.

Tommy Loy (Ballochmyle) gained the early advantage over Tommy McInally (Loudoun) taking two of the first three holes played. McInally reduced the defecit, only to see Loy regain his two hole advantage through ten.

After the players teed off from the 11th tee, the close proximity of the electric storm dictated an immediate suspension of play, with Loy two holes up.

The final will recommence at 5.00 p.m. on Friday evening, 5th May, from the 11th tee at Troon Portland.
