JOHN DUFF WINS NE ALLIANCE WITH AN
EIGHT-UNDER 61 AT INSCH GOLF CLUB
Newmachar +2 amateur John Duff chalked up his fourth win of the
North-east Golfers' Alliance season with a brilliant score of
eight-under-par 61 at Insch Golf Club today.
At 5,371yd, Insch is the shortest course on the circuit but that does
not detract from Duff's bogey-free halves of 30 (five under par) and 31
(three under), compiled with birdies at the second, third, fourth,
sixth, eighth, 10th,15th and 16th.
"It equals my lowest ever round but was an 11-under-par 61 for a course
record over the Newmachar Swailend course," said Duff who hit every
green in regulation and putted well. He might even have hit the magic
figure of 59 had not a few birdie putts lipped out.
"I was very pleased with how I played as I have been focusing on how
best to manage my game, depending on the condtions, so it is quite
satsifyuing when it all comes together like this."
Duff, who had not played the Insch course since he was a junior,
earned a £100 voucher for heading a field of 77 players by three strokes
from another amateur, Scotland international Adam Dunton, who plays off
+3 at McDonald Ellon.
Dunton had halves of 33-31 for his 64.
The leading professional was Colin Nelson, who plays out of the
MacKenzie Shop at Hazlehead. He shot a 65 with halves of 33-32, one
ahead of the second-placed pro Keil Beveridge (Kippie Lodge) who had an
inward half of 31.
