Copland Conquers the King Trophy at Nairn 
On a bright but blustery day at Nairn Golf Club, with gusts reaching 30mph, it was Ryan Copland of Moray Golf Club & Pro Shop who rose above the rest to claim his second win of the 2025 Order of Merit season, shooting a level-par 71 to lift the King Trophy 
Special mention to David Forrest of Newmachar Golf Club who aced the 230 yard Par 3 14th hole! 
Copland's latest win, added to his runner-up finish at the North District Championship and victory at the Boyd Anderson, sees the Moray man take full control at the top of the Order of Merit standings.
