Bradley Neil became the first Scot in a decade to lift the Amateur Championship title after he edged out South Africa’s Zander Lombard in a tension-fraught final at Royal Portrush on Sunday.
The match was all square through the first 18 holes and remained a closely fought affair after the first nine holes of the final 18.
However, with four holes to play, Lombard lost the 13^th and 14^th holes and Neil went 4-up. The South African fought back valiantly with successive birdies to keep the match alive, but a par on the 35^th hole was enough to seal a 2 & 1 victory for the Scot.
Lombard made the top 32 last year, but reaching the final was the biggest achievement in his career.
