GREAT WIN FOR HEDBLOM IN SCOTLAND.

SWEDE,PETER HEDBLOM was beaten by Simon Dyson in Holland last week,but this week he won the JOHNNY WALKER CHAMPIONSHIP at GLENEAGLES after a closing 67 for an overall total of 13 under par and a one shot victory from fellow countryman MARTIN ERLANDSSON. Erlandsson had an amazing run of 7 birdies in a row from the 6th and went on to produce a fantastic 10 under par 62 to set the clubhouse lead on -12.
Hedblom knew early on what he had to do,and he did it with his final birdie at the 16th and 2 closing pars gave him his 3rd European victory,and a nice cheque for 269,895 Euros.
Defending champion,Gregory Havret put up a good defence of his title and finished joint 3rd alongside local favorite Paul Lawrie on -10.

Damien McGrane was the best of the Irish.He hit a closing 68 to finish in joint 14th and pick up a cheque for 24,290 Euros,Gary Murphy needs a lot of good finishes to hold on to his tour card.This week he played better and finished on -4 and won 21,861 Euros for 16th place.
Johnny Caldwell had a bad weekend.He was -6 on Friday evening and finished on -1 after closing 76/73 and won only 12,793 Euros.Gareth Maybin couldn't get to grips with the greens and finished well down in 59th place on +6 and won 4,615 Euros.
