Euan Brown (Kilmarnock Barassie) kept Ayrshire hopes alive in the Scottish Amateur Championship on Thursday at Royal Troon when he battled his way through two rounds to claim a place in Friday mornings quarter finals.
Brown reached the last 32 in 2007 at Prestwick where he was heavily defeated before rushing off to play two rounds strokeplay later in the day and capture the Ayrshire Boys Championship. This year however he was involved in a much tighter match with Stewart Henderson (Hamilton) in the fourth round, beating his challenger by one hole on the final green to set up an afternoon meeting with 2006 champion Kevin McAlpine (Alyth).
In the fifth round match on Thursday afternoon, Brown had the best of the match, going three ahead at one point before his opponent edged his way back into contention. Brown ws not to be thwarted however, claiming his place in the last eight on the penultimate green with a 2 & 1 win over McAlpine.
In the quarter finals on Friday morning, Euan faces the 2009 Scottish Boys Champion David law (Hazlehead), with an o845 tee off.
