Byrne wins Tennant Cup in record fashion

Tennant Cup triumph for Banchory boy (Scottish Golf View/June 21, 2009)

Sun Devil James Byrne won the 72-hole Tennant Cup over the weekend by seven shots at Glasgow Golf Club's Killermont Course at Bearsden.

After Saturday's first two rounds at Glasgow Gailes, Byrne, fresh off a round of 16 finish at the British Amateur, led by one stroke at one-under-par 142 (73-68). But on Sunday he blew away the field by twice equalling the course record with two seven-under-par 63s. His 15-under-par 267 was matched the second-lowest in tournament history.
