MACHRIHANISH’S first summer open season winner’s 77, less nine for a 68 net, included nine straight pars on the way out.
At the blustery Saturday July 17 match, James Armour, virtually the last man home, won the George Rayner Trophy.
He endured a much tougher back nine, dropping eight shots over the next eight holes, but finished with a birdie three at the last to win by three.
