Challenge Tour – The Farmfoods Scottish Challenge, Newmachar Golf Club – 2022
In 2022, local legend Paul Lawrie assisted with the re-introduction of the Farmfoods Scottish Challenge, an event on the Challenge Tour circuit which had been absent since 2018. Mr. Lawrie, who was affiliated to Newmachar GC when he won The 1999 Open Championship, has been a fantastic advocate for developing the game in Scotland and this was a further piece to the jigsaw – providing emerging professionals a pathway towards the DP World Tour.
Previous winners of this event, which was formerly held at Spey Valley GC in Aviemore, include Brooks Koepka, Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston & David Law.
After a sudden-death play-off, Spaniard Javier Sainz was crowned the 2022 Champion. Be sure to watch the highlights below.
Following the success of this event, Newmachar GC are excited to have the event returning in August 2023….
