Schools Golf Challenge.
Ross shot an impressive gross score of 71, net 70, to take the honours in
the revamped event, which was contested by 16 schools from Fife, Tayside

Ross said: 'It was great fun to play the course and I'm delighted to be
the overall winner of the Dunhill Links Schools Golf Challenge. I plan to
apply to Arizona University for a full golf scholarship.'
Ross took the overall, individual scratch title over the Torrance Course
at St Andrews Bay Resort on a sunny, blustery day.

Michael Falls, Madras College, winner of the Junior Boys category with
eight-under par;
Martyn Scott, Dunfermline High School, winner of the Senior Boys category
with five-under par;

advance of the Dunhill Links Championship, which this year will once again
be staged at the Old Course, St Andrews, the Championship course at
Carnoustie and Kingsbarns Golf Links from September 29 - October 2.

the championship practice range on the final Sunday.
