Congratulations to Finlay Hazelwood from Carnoustie Caledonia who won the SGF National Matchplay this afternoon in an exciting match with Fraser Masting of Turnhouse.
Finlay took an early lead yet Fraser managed to keep in touch and was 2 down after 12, but his drive at 15 caught the heavy rough and Fraser lost the hole to go dormie 3 down. Back came Fraser winning both 16 & 17 to take the game down the last hole however Finlay hit 2 great shots into the middle of the green to clinch the match.
A great game played in great spirits gave us a great champion.
Congratulations to all who played and a big thank you to Castle Park for hosting us once again and to all the volunteers.
