AYRSHIRE ORDER OF MERIT - Steven Stamper takes Doc Thom Salver for the first time.

Steven Stamper

Steven Stamper of Turnberry & Girvan Golf Clubs was confirmed as the winner of the 2016 Ayrshire Order OF Merit title recently, following the completion of the final event at Prestwick St Nicholas in mid September.

Stamper was fifth equal in the last event, The Arrol Cup, and finished well ahead of all his challengers on 453.75 points.

His points were collected in seven of the counting events including a win at the Brunston Castle Open and a second place in the West Of Scotland Strokeplay

Michael Smyth

Michael Smyth (Royal Troon) finished in second place in the Order Of Merit after a second equal finish at Prestwick St Nicholas.

His total of 402.5 points were collected in five of the counting events, including a second place in the Ayrshire Strokeplay and a win in the Belleisle Cup

Stuart Robin

Third place was secured by the 2013 winner Stuart Robin (Prestwick St Cuthbert) who pipped Ayrshire Strokeplay Champion Greg Telfer (Prestwick St Cuthbert) by a mere 2.5 points in the race for the third place finish.

Robin gained points in just two of the counting events, but this included a win in the Gowf Cup at Loudoun.
