Paul Betty from Hayston wins Scottish Champions of Champions event at Leven

Posted by Big G under Latest Golf News, Mens Amateur Golf

 

Paul Betty from Hayston Golf Club won his first major title on the Scottish golf Union domestic circuit by lifting the Scottish Champion of Champions crown at Leven Golf club, which was reduced to 36 holes due to snow.

The 23-year-old Glaswegian returned a four-under tally of 138 which consisted of  rounds of 68 and 70.

Betty,  has been in fine form of late and actually led the qualifier at last month’s Spanish championship.

With the Leven links covered in snow, the Leven Golfing Society organisers were forced to cancel the closing 36 holes and declare a result on the first two rounds.

Gavin Dear finished one stroke behind Betty after a fantastic second round of six under par 65.

Gordon Yates of Hilton Park and Alyth’s former Scottish Champion, Kevin McAlpine, shared third place on 142 while Scott Borrowman, the national youths’ champion from Dollar, figured in a three-way tie for fifth place on 143.

The next event on the SGU calendar is the Craigmillar Park 72 hole strokeplay event in Edinburgh to be played this weekend.
