Shepherd goes for the ‘Full Monty’
The British Amateur Championship was recently won by Laird Shepherd at Nairn Golf Club in Scotland. He beat Monty Scowsill in the match-play final that went on for 38 holes.
Shepherd, a graduate of Stirling University and a resident of St Andrews, can now look forward to the perks of the win, that includes a slot at next week’s 149th British Open at Royal St George’s, the 2022 Masters at Augusta, and the 2022 US Open at the Country Club in Brookline, near Boston.
The story should end here but when you delve into the match, you’ll find that Scowsill was eight up standing on the 18th tee of the first 18 holes.
Shepherd then won the 18th with a par to go into lunch seven down but perhaps having now won his first hole of the match felt that all was not…
