Young Scots take scenic route to the last eight

On the longest day, it was perhaps appropriate that Jack McDonald and Paul Ferrier both went the full distance and more as they progressed into the quarter-finals of the Amateur Championship last night.

It was more like the depths of winter than the height of summer with the cold, boisterous conditions adding a new layer of menace to the robust Royal Troon links, but the Scottish duo warmed the cockles of the wrapped up spectators on the sidelines with spirited displays.
