Gareth Hardy, a South African based in Ayrshire and a self-confessed "big supporter of the Tartan Tour, dedicated the biggest win of his career to his late father-in-law after clinching the Deer Park Masters at the Livingston venue. Hardy, the head PGA professional at Prestwick St Nicholas after moving to Scotland 23 years ago, carded a brace of 67s for a ten-under-par total to win the title. He was helped by making an eagle-3 at the eighth in both rounds, and won by a shot from in-form Gavin Hay, who had led by five shots after a sensational first-round 61 before settling for a 74 in the second circuit.

"Absolutely buzzing to be in the winners' circle again, admitted Hardy. "It's been a tough start to the year losing Ned Farrell, my father-in-law, and he would always ask how my golf was getting on and tell me how well I was going. This one's for you, Ned.

"I've been playing reasonably well over the past few seasons and it was nice to finally put some decent scores together to win at Deer Park, which is one of our bigger events, added Hardy. It's always nice to have my members at the golf club see their club Professional competing with some top players in Scotland in Gavin, Craig and Lee to name only a few.
