On a frost affected day the final 36 holes of the 2013 Scottish Student Golf Championship at Moray Golf Club, Lossiemouth there was a nail-biting climax to the Ladies Championship and a tooth-and-nail battle between team mates for the Men's Championship.
 
The morning round for the ladies saw the overnight lead of Georgia Gilling closed to one shot, from playing partner Iona Stephen (St Andrews). 

During the afternoon round, the lead between these players and St Andrews Captain, Gabrielle MacDonald, changed hands a number of times and, standing on the eigteenth tee, all was to play for. 

A final hole bogey was enough for Lossie rookie Georgia, pictured below, to lift the trophy with a score of 76, 72, 78, 82 = 308, with Gabrielle and Iona tying on scores of 311. 

In the Ladies Team Championship, Iona and Gabrielle were joined by Gemma Bradbury and Maranda Brain to take the prize of leading team. 

In the Men's Individual Championship, there was a wire-to-wire victory for Swiss international, Mathias Eggenberger (Stirling) who added a one under par afternoon round to a level par 71 morning round for a total of 66, 73, 71, 70 = 280 (-2). 

Mathias, who is a Sports Studies and Marketing student, is the current Belgian International Amateur Champion said that the highlight of his day was his five-under par back nine in the morning round which consolidated his lead after a shaky front nine and set him up for victory. 

Runner-up was Stirling teammate and Scottish International, Jack McDonald and third place also went to a Stirling sports bursar, Kit Holmes. 

These three combined with colleagues Zander Culverwell and Mike Howard to lead Stirling to victory in the team championship with a combined score of 561 ahead of local institutions - University of Aberdeen (596) in second and University of the Highlands and Islands (598).
