Steely Stewart doubles up on Get Back To Golf Tour

Ayrshire pro Michael Stewart clinched his second victory on the bunkered Get Back To Golf Tour with a stunning round at The Carrick on Loch Lomond.

The experienced pro posted a three-under par 68, consisting of four birdies and just the one dropped shot, coming at the par-3 16th, on his way to title glory.

The win for Stewart, a former Scottish Amateur Champion, comes following his victory on the same tour at Prestwick St Nicholas in June.
