Eric McIntosh is Scottish Boys' Amateur Golf Champion!

Posted on 13th Apr 2016 in Stewart's Melville College, Sport

Congratulations to SMC golf team captain Eric McIntosh who achieved his biggest win so far in the junior golfing ranks after a spectacular performance that saw him win the Scottish Boys Amateur Championships.  Eric brings the cup back to the Lothians for the first time since 2010 when recent GB&I Walker Cup player, Grant Forrest (FP) won the cup. Eric said after the tournament "It feels amazing, I did not expect to be sitting here with the trophy this week. It was a very tight match but I holed a lot of putts at crucial times which kept me a nice two-up cushion and it was great to sink the putt to win it, what a feeling." Eric has his eye on the Order of Merit next and we wish him the best of luck!
