  • Graeme Robertson Wins The Northern Open after 3 Hole Play-off

    6/8/2024
      Graeme Robertson wins the Northern Open 🏆 after 3 hole playoff 👍⛳️ Tied on 137(-3) with Joe Bryce (Gleneagles) it was Grangemouth Professional Graeme Robertson taking the coveted title of Northern Open Champion to add to his Scottish PGA Championship title. Playing down the first hole at Cruden Bay both players parred the 420 yard par 4 at the first two attempts in the playoff. After both hit superb tee shots down the first for the third time it was Joe who fired a fantastic second shot into 8ft from the hole. Graeme now under pressure played a sublime approach to within inches of the hole for a tap in birdie and with Joe missing his putt, the title went to Graeme. The day itself was another mix of warm sunshine and heavy showers. The lead changed hands a few times with Kevin Duncan (Deeside GC) having an opportunity to take the title but for two late bogeys dropped him to T3 with Rob Paterson (Kilspindie) and Paul O’Hara (North Lanarkshire Leisure Ltd) on 139(-1). Graeme Robertson was always hanging around playing steady golf - a birdie at the 12th moved him to one behind Joe Bryce. With Joe dropping a shot at the 16th and getting in to the clubhouse on -3 it was now up to Graeme to try and grab the title. Standing on the 18 tee needing a birdie to win he pulled his tee into an unplayable lie into some gorse - having to take a penalty drop Graeme then played a simply superb approach from 160 yards to within 5 feet and holed the putt for his par to force the playoff. The Northern Open is a Professional Tournament but traditionally has amateurs in the field who compete for the ‘Bookless’ Cup. This year’s winner was Jonathon Keith (Inverness GC) with a score of 146(+6). A superbly run event by the Scottish Region PGA team with a tough but fair layout presented in superb condition by Cruden Bay Golf Club 👍⛳️ Link to final leaderboard 👇🏻 https://pgagbi.bluegolf.com/.../contest/1/leaderboard.htm #scottishgolf #golflife #linksgolf #pga #pgapro

  • Northern Open Day 1 Report

    6/8/2024
      Northern Open 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛳️ Cruden Bay Golf Club The PGA Scottish Region #scottishgolf #golflife #linksgolf #PGA #pgapro The Northern Open was first played in 1931 at Royal Aberdeen with the first winner being Jimmy McDowal. For some years it was one of only two 72-hole tournaments on the "Tartan Tour", the PGA Tour in Scotland's schedule, the other being the Scottish PGA Championship, but since 2019 the event has been played over 36 holes. The Championship has had some well known winners over the years from the likes of Eric Brown and Harry Bannerman to more recent winners such as Aberdeen based DP World Tour player David Law. On a mixed day of weather with a stiff westerly across the fabulous links at Cruden Bay - the players were given a stern examination today. A four way tie at the top after the first round has Lewis Brown (St George’s Hill GC) Joe Bryce (Gleneagles) Kevin Duncan (Deeside GC) and reigning Scottish PGA Champion Graeme Robertson (Grangemouth GC) on 68(-2). Lewis came storming home in 31(-3) highlighted by an eagle 2 at the 320 yard 12th hole and another 2 at the par 3 16th. Joe had steady halves of 35(-1) 33(-1) with 3 birdies at 1, 12, 13 and his only drop being at the 10th. Kevin managed a very impressive bogey free round in the difficult conditions with two birdies at 6 & 15. Graeme had a more adventurous day with 4 birdies at 6, 12, 13, 17 and adding an eagle 2 at the par 4 8th hole. They are one stroke ahead of two players - Rob Paterson (Kilspindie GC) and former Northern Open Champion and DP World Tour player Craig Lee on 69(-1). With a stronger wind forcast tomorrow it should make for a very exciting final round with a total of 19 players within 4 shots of the lead.
