SCOTTISH PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

 

MENZIES LEADS QUALFIERS FROM CRIEFF

 

Finlay Menzies (Milngavie) picked up a £100 prize for shooting a four-under-par 67 to head the 31 qualifiers who went forward to the Gleneagles Scottish PGA championship from today's eliminator at Crieff Golf Club.

There was a play-off on 73 featuring 12 players for the last seven places. It took the best part of  90min to settle the issue.

Tomorrow's second qualifying competition will produce another 30 competitors to join the 69 exempt players plus one sponsor’s invite in the Gleneagles Scottish PGA championship field over the PGA Centenary course from August 24 to 27.
