Andrew Davidson won the Faldo Series Scotland Championship by two shots to secure his place at the Grand Final.

Andrew Davidson won the Faldo Series Scotland Championship by two shots to secure a spot in his second successive Grand Final.

The 20-year-old closed with a one-over par round of 71 to win by two from overnight co-leaders Niall Mcmullen and Calum Fyfe.

Commenting on his victory Davidson said, “I’m buzzing to be going back to The Greenbrier, I can’t wait.

“This win gets me a World Amateur Golf Ranking too, which was one of my main goals at the start of the season.”

Davidson will be joined at The Greenbrier by Matthew Dalrymple, winner of the Boy’s Under-16 division and Niall Mcmullen, who birdied the fifth extra hole in an epic sudden death play-off to pip Calum Fyfe to the Boys’ Under-18 title.

The final two qualifying spots went to 2013 Faldo finalist Shannon Williams, who recorded a hole-in-one on route to a second place finish in the Girls’ division and Minto’s Tara Mactaggart, the winner by one shot.

Supported by The R&A, ISPS Handa, The European Tour and The Greenbrier the 2014 Faldo Series Europe schedule features 17 tournaments in 15 countries including three in England plus others in Abu Dhabi, Ireland, Chile, Wales, Brazil, Scotland, Czech Republic, Italy, Austria, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Slovakia and the USA.
