AYRSHIRE JUNIOR ORDER OF MERIT - Ross McDonald leads the way

Ross McDonald (Kilmarnock Barassie) leads the way in the chase for the Ayrshire Junior Order of Merit title with just two or three counting events remaining in this years programme.

A win in the Belleisle Junior Open and his success in the Ayrshire Boys Matchplay Championship has given McDonald a clear lead over his nearest rivals on 427.5 points.

Good finished at Turnberry, Ayr Belleisle and in the Tom Lehman event at Troon Municipal, as well as a semi final place in the Ayrshire Boys Matchplay has moved Harvey Broadfoot (Troon Welbeck) into second place on 305 points whilst Ruben Lindsay (Ayr Belleisle) and Patrick Smiley (Prestwick St Nicholas) share third place on 250 points.
