Lothians round-up: Neil Fenwick is king of the castle

Dunbar's Neil Fenwick battled some of the toughest conditions he has experienced to win the Carnegie Invitational by Skibo Castle for a second time.

Fenwick shot rounds of 69 and 71 for a two-under-par 140 total, winning by two shots from Greig Hutcheon (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) as he carded scores of 70-72.

“I played very solid in really tough conditions, probably some of windiest weather I’ve ever played in,” said Fenwick, who picked up a £4750 cheque.

Midlothian agonisingly missed out on winning the Scottish Women’s County Finals at Kilmacolm.

They lost out to Aberdeenshire by virtue of points won after Aberdeenshire, Midlothian and hosts Renfrewshire all won two out of three matches.

Midlothian bounced back from an opening-day defeat to Renfrewshire by beating Aberdeenshire then Dumfriesshire.

On her Midlothian debut, new junior champion Carys Irvine picked up 3.5 points.
