Borrowman is R&A Foundation Bursars' men's champion

Laura Murray pips Pamela
Pretswell in countback

Alford's Laura Murray (Robert Gordon University) and Scott Borrowman (Stirling University) won the women's and men's titles respectively in the annual R&A Foundation Bursars' tournament over the Eden and Old Course, St Andrews.
In horse-racing terms, there was a photo-finish in both sections, in fact even a dead-heat.
Laura Murray (Cal Carson Golf Agency image on right, all rights reserved) and Pamela Pretswell (Glasgow University) both totalled 219 for the 54 holes.
Laura had three rounds of 73 while Pamela scored 75, 69 and 75.
Miss Murray's better last round was the tie-breaker.
It was even tighter in the men's section in which Scottish youths champion Borrowman from Dollar tied with Federico Colombo (Milan University) on 211.
Borrowman's scores were 71, 70 and 70; Colombo's 70, 71 and 70. The tie-breaker in Borrowman's favour was the inward half on the final round over the Old Course.

The in-depth report from the R&A website reads:

The men’s event could easily have been closer still. James Gill, a New Zealander who studies at St Andrews University, took a four-shot lead into Tuesday’s final round over the Old Course, after superb rounds of 68 and 69 on the Eden Course the previous day.
Gill struggled on the final day, however, and when his 12ft birdie putt on the final green stopped two feet short he was destined to finish one shot off the winning score, with a three-over-par final round of 75.
Federico Colombo, an Italian international player and student at the University of Milan, certainly had the most dramatic week of the top contenders.
Travel problems meant that he didn’t arrive until two o’clock in the morning on the first day of the event, with his clubs still stuck somewhere between Milan and Gatwick. Yet his hired clubs and borrowed shoes nearly did the trick: he got to four under par for his third round before dropping back with a four-putt on the 13th which robbed him of his momentum.
In the end, it was Scott Borrowman who prevailed after a superb 70 in which he scored no worse than a 4 on any of the first 16 holes, although he thought his chance might have slipped away when he bogeyed the 17th and watched his approach on the last hole fall short into the Valley of Sin.
“I knew the scores and knew that I had a putt to win on the last,” he said, referring to the six-foot par putt he was left after his chip, “but when it missed, I had no idea who would win.”
The ladies’ competition also ended in a tie, with Laura Murray’s 73 bringing her level with first-day leader Pamela Pretswell. Murray began her round with seven consecutive 4s to be three under par, and kept things steady throughout, though she endured a nervous moment on the final hole when her drive finished within inches of the out-of-bounds fence on the right-hand side.
Taking advantage of her narrow escape, she fired a six-iron to the heart of the green and set up a finishing birdie, leaving Pretswell to rue her double-bogey 6 on the short par-4 10th.
There was consolation for Pretswell, however, when she received news that as the second place finisher she would take her place alongside Murray representing The R&A Bursars in a team competition to be played in Argentina later this year.
Murray also secures a sponsor’s invitation to play in the Ladies English Open, to be held at The Oxfordshire in July.
Alongside his trophy, Scott Borrowman also won himself a place in the European team for the Palmer Cup, the annual US vs Europe students event, which this year will be played at Glasgow Golf Club’s Gailes Course in Ayrshire.
This year’s R&A Foundation Bursars’ Tournament brought together 60 R&A-supported university students from across Europe.
