MASTERS TAKES SCOTTISH OPEN

EDINBURGH skipper Sam Masters triumphed in the Ratho Coaches Scottish Open – the meeting billed as the Farewell to Armadale.

Masters won the trophy for the second time, following on from his victory in 2014, and was unbeaten in the qualifiers apart from losing a chain when leading his second ride, before taking the flag in the Final.

Dan Bewley and Richie Worrall completed the podium finishers with Josh Pickering falling in the first staging of the Final with conditions affected by rain at that stage. Pickering had won the semi-final ahead of Chris Harris, Justin Sedgmen and Richard Lawson.

Masters said: “It’s great to win this here, because without this club I don’t think my career would be where it is today. I hope they will find a way to continue.”
