Brian McElhinney carded a final round 69 around the Old Course in Formby Hall to move up to a final position of T13 in his latest outing on the Europro Tour. Brian had already posted rounds of 74 & 70 on his way to an overall 213 (-3). The Tournament was won by Nick McCarthy who claimed his first victory on the PGA EuroPro Tour after edging out Scott Henry in the second extra hole of a play-off.

Brian is currently 32nd on the Order of Merit on the Europro Tour having played in 7 events making 6 cuts along the way.

Former North West Member and European Tour caddie, James McHugh,was understandably very happy with the T4 finish by his employer, Mark Brown, today in the Scandinavian Masters held at Bro Hof Slott Golf Club in Sweden.

Brown's final round 71 left him on -8 for the tournament and just three shots adrift of eventual winner,  Richard S Johnson on -11.

North west members will discover more about what it is like to caddy full time on the European Tour when an interview with James is published soon.

Brown, a native of New Zealand, is currently in 92nd place on the European Tour's race to Dubai.

The North West will have one eye on the Leaderboard at next weeks British Open as local man, James McHugh, caddy's for Gary Clark in the Seasons third major.

James has been a regular on the European Tour for a number of years now and at present is the caddy of New Zealander, Mark Brown. This weeks tournament at the Scottish open in Loch Lomond will give James a chance to catch up on all the latest news from St.Andrews ahead of next week's Open. Mark Brown will be looking to add to last week's T51 at the French Open in Paris
