Southland No 1 Vaughan McCall continued his good form with a top 15 finish at the Scottish Open stroke play championship at Kilmarnock overnight (NZT).
The 20-year-old from the Gore Golf Club, who earlier this year became the first golfer in 24 years to win both the New Zealand stroke play and amateur titles, shot a three under par 70 in the final round to climb 28 places into a share of 14th.
McCall lost touch with the leaders in the second and third rounds, but rallied in the final round with three birdies in a bogey free round to finish the tournament on even par.
He is playing the British amateur events for the first time and last week enjoyed a good start to his Northern Hemisphere summer when he finished runner-up at the Wales amateur stroke play championship.
Bay of Plenty representative Sam Davis also enjoyed a fine event in Scotland. He carded a two under 71 in the final round to also finish on an even par total and a share of 14th place in the international field.
