J&G Sutherland/November Medal - 14 November 09
Henderson holds on to win medal

The postponed J&G Sutherland November Medal went ahead at Thurso Golf Club on Saturday with the course playing its full length after more heavy rain during the week.

In common with the majority of the field, Graeme Henderson found the long fourth and seventh holes challenging and ran up double bogeys at both but a birdie at the eighth steadied the ship and his golf thereafter was steadiness itself and a first class inward 39 took him to nett 64 for his round and victory in the Medal.

Steadiness also applied to Gavin Souter's complete round as he had nothing worse than a bogey in his gross 79, nett 67, to claim second place behind Henderson.

In complete contrast, Ed Wylie had everything from a triple bogey, at the second, to an eagle, at the eighth, in his outward nine and a couple of sixes on the way in to earn third place with nett 69.

Stuart Bell and Bryan Ronald were next best on nett 70. Bell improved by six shots on his back nine whereas Ronald fell away by five shots after a level par outward nine to shoot 73, the day's low round.
