Boat of Garten golfer Jordan Shaw claimed victory at the North of Scotland Golf Open at Brora Golf Course last weekend.

The competition became a two-horse race in the final round with Matthew Wilson from Forres.
Shaw hit a 66 in the opening round with Wilson hitting a 67. But the Forres golfer took the advantage with a 62 in the second round to go to the top of the leaderboard while Shaw floundered with a 68.
But Shaw hit back with scores of 64 in his final two rounds. Wilson could only manage scores of 67 in his final two rounds which gave Shaw victory by one shot with a total score of 262.
