GOLF: Fortrose and Rosemarkie golfer wins Kings Trophy in Nairn

FORTROSE and Rosemarkie golfer Lewis Reid came out on top to claim the King Trophy in Nairn.

Reid claimed victory by two shots to lift the title after three rounds held at Nairn Golf Club and Nairn Dunbar Golf Club on Saturday and Sunday.

He made a big statement during the first round when he recorded a round of 69.

However, he had a poor second round when he fired a 74, only giving him a one-shot lead going into the final round.

A slightly improved round of 73 in the last 18 holes was enough to give Reid victory by two shots with 216.

Tain golfer and Ross-shire county champion Sean Kennedy settled for second place. After scoring 72 in both his opening rounds, a 74 in the final round meant he finished on 218.

Martin Lawrence completed the podium as he finished in third place.

After a poor opening round of 76, he improved in the final two rounds with scores of 71 and 73 to end with a score of 220.

Ryan Copland and Jamie Wilson both finished with a score of 222.

Copland recorded rounds of 75, 77 and 70 with Wilson firing 76, 74 and 72.
