16 year old Francisco Pintor became the first Spanish winner of the Scottish youths’ open amateur stroke-play golf championship at Mortonhall Golf Club in Edinburgh this weekend.
Four shots off the pace at the halfway stage, Pintor forged a two hole lead with a four-under-par 68 in the third round. A closing 74 was good enough to see him win the title by two shots with a four-under-par total of 284.
Scottish boys match-play champion James White (Lundin) and Ross Kellett (Colville Park) were joint runners-up on 286.
Best finisher from Ayrshire was the halfway leader Steven McEwan (Kilmarnock Barassie) who faded with closing rounds of 74 and 76 to a level par total of 288, for a joint fourth place.
Final scores for the Ayrshire players who qualified to complete all four rounds were :-
