AYRSHIRE JUNIOR ORDER OF MERIT - Max Barclay leads as 2021 event gets under way

Max Barclay (Ayr Belleisle) is the early leader as the 2021 Ayrshire Junior Order of Merit title chase gets under way.

As the Scottish Boys and Scottish Girls' Strokeplay events were cancelled earlier in the season, the first qualifying event this year was the Golf South Ayrshire Junior Open, which took place over the Ayr Belleisle course on Saturday the 12th of June.

An excellent round of 71 gave Max Barclay full points, whilst scores of 77 saw Drew Cleaver (Ayr Belleisle) and Cameron McGarvie (Royal Troon) share the second and third place points.

The next counting events are the West of Scotland Boys Strokeplay at Rowallan Castle on the 28th of June, the Largs Junior Open on the 1st of July and the Troon Welbeck Junior Open on the 2nd of July

Present positions after the first counting event, with a further 20 still to go, are:-
