BUSA FIRST SCOTTISH QUALIFIER
STIRLING STUDENTS SWEEP THE
BOARDS AT ST ANDREWS BAY
Stirling swept the boards of the leading awards at the first of the British Universities Sports Association Regional Qualifiers (Scotland), played over the Devlin and Torrance courses at Fairmont St Andrews Bay.
Stirling students Paul Betty and Claire-Marie Carlton won the individual titles and Stirling won both the men’s and women’s team events.
Betty had rounds of 74 and 69 for a one-under-par total of 143 to win by a single shot from two Highland & Islands University students, Greg McBain (144) from Aberdeen and David Morrison (146) from Banff. Scott Borrowman (Stirling) shared third place on 146.
Miss Carlton had 10 shots to spare in the women’s event after rounds of 80 and 75 for 155. Runner-up was Alford’s Laura Murray (Robert Gordon’s) who won the Scottish schoolgirls title at this venue two years ago.
Emma Fairnie (Edinburgh) from the Borders was third on 167.
The next three Scottish qualifying events are at Lossiemouth (March 26-28), Macdonald Cardrona (Apri 21-22) and Carrick on Loch Lomond (May 1-2).
Players who gain the most points will qualify to compete against qualifiers from English and Wales venues for the BUSA individual stroke-play championship next summer.
The Scottish Golf Union is supporting the regional qualifying events and in return a small number of entries will be allocated to the SGU for Scottish non-student youth players.
