 Patrick Spraggs (G 04-09) and John Wybar (K 92-06) put up a terrific performance in the British Universities Golf Championship at Dundonald, near Troon, over the 14th to 17th April. Coming on top of the R&A Foundation Scholars' Tournament, which Patrick won and in which John came just a little further down the field, quickly followed by them both playing for the OFGS team in the Halford Hewitt competition, the two players have had plenty to challenge them over the last few weeks.
The field for the British University Golf Championship is restricted to the top 60 golfers at British Universities, following various qualifying tournaments played through the 2009/10 autumn/winter season.
In the final event, at the magnificent and immensely difficult Dundonald Links, Patrick Spraggs (Stirling University) finished 4th with a total of 295 (72, 81, 70 & 72) - in spite of the added pressure of being watched throughout his final round by the coach of the European Palmer Cup team, the team for which he gained automatic qualification by winning the R&A Foundation Scholars tournament at St. Andrews the previous week. John Wybar (Aberdeen University) finished 6th with a total of 298 (74, 72, 75 & 77).
