CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE

QUARTER FINALS

On a glorious evening at Duddingston the four quarter-finals seemed evenly contested. In the first match Scott McCandless (Bathgate) beat Lewis Cheetham 2&1. Callum Keneally (Dunbar) against Jack Collingwood (Tantallon) was the second quarter-final and again no quarter was given. Callum eventually held a two hole lead with 2 holes to play.  Jack won both these holes to take the match down the 19th hole. An eagle three by Jack proved decisive as he progressed into the final. 

In the other matches Jamie Duguid beat Andrew Benson 2&1 and Michael Bacigalupo beat Mark Napier 4&3. 

Saturdays Semi-finals start at 8:15 and the second one following at 8:30. The final is scheduled to start at 13:00 and spectators are welcome. 

ROUND OF 16

The quality of play in the first round was outstanding. Scott McCandless (Bathgate) won at the 19th against Connor McWatt (Silverknowes) and Jack Collingswood (Tantallon), Andrew Benson (West Lothian), Michael Bacigalupo (Royal Musselburgh) and Mark Napier (Dundas Parks) all won by 1 hole on the 18th green squeezing out Lee Morgan (Dunbar), Barry Lewis (West Lothian), Georgie Jackson (Turnhouse) and Jake Johnston (Kingsfield) by the narrowest margin in matches strewn with birdies and with never more than 2 holes in it. The Stuart Cup holder Craig Davidson (Longniddry) was beaten 2 & 1 by fellow club member Lewis Cheetham and local hero, and former winner, David Miller was seen off 4 & 3 by Callum Kenneally (Dunbar) who is back home for the summer after his first year at an American University. Spare a thought for the ever-green Graham Robertson (Silverknowes) who was 2 under par when beaten 6 & 5 by Jamie Duguid (Dunbar) who had 8 birdies in the 13 holes played!!!!! The standard is indeed high.
