PAUL LAWRIE CHALLENGE
PAUL LAWRIE NE JUNIOR CHALLENGE
FINALS AT ST ANDREWS BAY
If Graeme Mitchell (Northern) is not too drained after reaching the last 16 of the Allied Surveyors Scottish amateur championship at Nairn this week, he will start favourite to win the boys’ section of the Paul Lawrie Junior North-east Match-play Challenge over the Torrance course at St Andrews Bay this weekend.
Mitchell, the North of Scotland boys’ champion this year, meets Luke Barbour (Peterhead) in the first semi-final on Saturday afternoon (1pm). David Morrison (Duff House Royal) tees up against Grant Carnie (Newburgh on Ythan) in the other tie.
The final will be played over the same course on Sunday morning (9am).
The girls’ section looks much more open. Any one of the four semi-finalists could win the title. Laura Murray (Alford), who won the Scottish schoolgirls title last year over this course, plays Mhairi Johnstone (Northern) while Gail Stewart-Richens (Newmachar) meets Lauren MacCallum (McDonald Ellon), who won the handicap section of the Scottish schoolgirls 12 months ago.
The boys and girls have made it this far after an elimination process which began back in the spring.
Paul Lawrie is providing the transport and paying all the weekend expenses for the eight youngsters to stay Saturday night at St Andrews Bay Hotel.
