NEARLY four decades on from his first triumph in Whinhill’s open competition, William McCulloch has claimed his second victory.
More than 100 members and visitors competed for this year’s Whinhill Trophy.
The honour went to Whinhill member McCulloch, who returned an excellent score of nett 66 in some very tough scoring conditions.
He previously won the event 37 years ago in 1989.
