NAIRN'S Sandy Scott scored his third win inside the past two months when he romped home with six strokes to spare in the Scottish Boys' Open Stroke-play Championship over the Royal Burgess Golfing Society at Barnton, Edinburgh.

Scott, who turned 17 at the end of June, shot impressive rounds of 65, 69, 69 and 70 for an 11-under-par total of 273 in chalking up his best and biggest win to date.

Winner of the Nairn Golf Club men's championship – he beat another junior, Rory Franssen, who was a fast-finishing third at Barnton – Scott went farther afield to win the Stephen Gallacher Foundation Trophy.

Then he won his first SGU 72-hole Order of Merit event, the East of Scotland Open, at Lundin.

At the weekend he led at halfway in the Sutherland Chalice at Dumfries and Galloway, but could not hold the pack at bay over the final two rounds.

But there was never any danger of Scott squandering another 36-hole lead. He had eight birdies over his first two rounds at Barnton and nine over the third and fourth circuits.

Scott's first two rounds were bogey free but he had a double bogey 6 at the fourth in his third round. If it upset him, it did not show on his scorecard after that.

Calum Fyfe (Cawder) came through into second place with third and fourth rounds of 70 and 68 for 279. Fyfe is something of a short-hole expert. He had four birdie 2s over rounds two, three and four, two of them coming when he needed them to get the better of Franssen in the battle for second place.

The Inverness player's third-round 72 left him with too much ground to make up on Fyfe in the final circuit but he did the next best thing, he matched his three-under closing 68.
