DOC THOM AYRSHIRE ORDER OF MERIT - Jim Johnston established early lead in title chase

Jim Johnston (Ayr Belleisle) has established a healthy early lead in the chase for the 2018 Ayrshire Order Of Merit title and Doc Thom Salver.

Following his success in the Ayrshire Strokeplay Championship, Johnston also gained points in the Ayrshire Matchplay and West Of Scotland Strokeplay and Seafield Open as well as gaining maximum points in the West Kilbride Open and The Belleisle Cup.

Sandy Buchanan marked his return from America with maximum points in the Stevenson Trophy at Girvan and the Seafield Open which, along with points in the West Kilbride Open and The Hillhouse Cup at Royal Troon, moved him into second place in the table, just ahead of the holder Michael Smyth (Royal Troon), whose win in the Ayrshire Matchplay Championship and the Hillhouse Cup at Royal Troon along with points in The Belleisle Cup kept his hopes of retaining the title on track.

The next counting events are the McGilchrist Cup at Ardeer on 16th June, the Amateur Championship at Royal Aberdeen and Murcar from 18th to 23rd June and The brunston castle Open on 30th June.
