AN EXPLOSIVE final round saw three players in a tie for the lead firing down the last hole before Steven Gilmour snatched an epic victory.
Lochgilphead ’ s Gilmour took a threeshot lead into round three on June 11, with five time winner George McMillan in second and young Ross Robertson a further five shots back in third place. Sixteen time champion Stuart Campbell went into the weekend with a mountain to climb some nine shots behind Gilmour but his experience meant he could not be written off.
Campbell’s round-by-round improvement continued as he shot an excellent round of 71 to finish the day on 219 and secure fourth place going into the final round. McMillan had a solid round but slipped to third place going into Sunday with an aggregate score of 216.
