A TWO-UNDER-PAR back nine of 32 helped Donald Standaloft to victory in the latest round of the Winter League at Kingarth on Saturday. After a steady start the two-handicapper boosted his score with back-to-back birdies at the ninth and tenth before signing off with a final three at the eighteenth for a gross 67 and 39 points. Duncan Speirs (7) finished one adrift of the leader with a 38-points total while Ian McDougall (15) and league-leader John Kernaghan (10) shared third place with 35 points. After Saturday's round there is still no change at the top of the table, although Kernaghan's lead has been cut to nine points with McDougall moving into second place on 306.
