AYRSHIRE ORDER OF MERIT - Shanks retains Doc Thom Salver

John Shanks
Ayrshire Order Of Merit Winner
For second successive year.
John Shanks (Irvine) retained the Doc Thom Ayrshire Order Of Merit in 2015, holding off a late challenge from Stuart Robin (Prestwick St Cuthbert), who fell just short of Shanks' points total following the final qualifying event.


The Arrol Cup at Prestwick St Nicholas was the final counting event this year and Stuart Robin needed to  finish alone in third place or better  to overtake Shanks, who was unavailable for the last counting competition. Despite a valiant effort, Robin could only secure fourth place at St Nicholas, leaving him just 25 points behind Shanks in the chase for the Doc Thom Salver.



In one of the closest run contests for some time, Ayrshire Strokeplay Champion Tommy McInally (Loudoun) finished in thisrd place, just over 20 points behind Robin in second place and less than 50 points behind Shanks in top spot.
