Matthew and Evanna lead at Loretto Scottish U14 tournament at Craigielaw

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Matthew Jackman (Southport and Ainsdale) has opened up a five-shot lead in the boys' section and Evanna Hynd (Balbirnie Park) tops the girls' returns by two strokes at the end of the first day of the Loretto School Scottish Under-14 boys and girls' tournament at Craigielaw Golf Club.
Jackman shot a sparkling two-under-par 69 to have his nearest challengers, William Lewis (Long Ashton) and Casey Jarvis (South Africa) trailing in his wake on the 74 mark.
Best placed Scots boys are Calum D Scott (Nairn) and Cameron Johnstone (Troon Welbeck), tied eighth on 76.
In the girls' section, Evanna Hynd was three over par with a 74 but it was a good enough effort to lead R Belshaw (Whitley Bay) by two with the third placed players, including Hannah Darling (Broomieknowe), back on 80.
