RISING Peebles star Darren Howie added another win to his impressive CV by taking spot scratch prize in the Scottish Golf Academy Winter Series Final at the Jubilee Course in St Andrews.

The Peebles boys champion, who has been selected to receive national academy coaching, fired an impressive 75 in conditions described as “brutal” as winds battered the 'Home of Golf’ coastline. His level par back nine included a superb eagle at the 12th.

Look out for Darren’s progress in next month’s Scottish Boys Championship at Dunbar next month…a title won by a certain Craig Howie three years ago!
