BLAIR MORTON - Historic Treble for Royal Troon golfer

Blair Morton (Royal Troon) competed a historic treble recently over his home course, becoming the first player ever to win the Hillhouse Cup, Troon Links Championship and Royal Troon Club Championship titles in the same season.

In May he landed the Hillhouse Cup, a prestigious scratch competition hosted by Royal Troon annually, and last week followed this up with his second win in the Troon Links Championship on Saturday the 19th of June, beating Robbie Stewart (Troon Portland) on the final green with a single hole victory. 

The following day Blair was back at Royal Troon to contest the final of the Club Championship against Paul McKellar. Though he failed at the final hurdle in the Club Championship 12 months earlier, Blair Morton made no mistake this year, winning the final by by 5 & 4 to complete the notable treble.
