Benjamin Wescoe wins Boyd Quaich Memorial Tournament
Benjamin Wescoe (University of Cambridge) won the 2011 Boyd Quaich Memorial Tournament after holding off the challenge from Sean Fotheringhame (St Andrews). Wescoe led by one stroke after 54 holes and at one stage in the final round he had a commanding five-shot advantage but a determined display from Fotheringhame meant that the final result came down the last two putts.
In the end both winner and runner-up scored 71 over the Old course and Wescoe’s winning total of five-under-par 281 is a new scoring record for this event, first played in 1946.
The Boyd Quaich is organised and run by the Athletic Union of the University of St Andrews, and receives significant grant aid from the Royal and Ancient Golf Club with support from the St Andrews Links Trust. Without this financial help it would not be possible for many of these young golfers, especially from overseas, to be able to play in this prestigious WAGR-counting event.
