Scottish Open 2016
16-17 July 2016, Meadows
Mark Ormerod of England won the 2016 Scottish Open at Meadows, beating Andrew Willis in the final. Local boys John Surgenor and Martin Stephenson put up brave opposition in the semi-finals but couldn’t prevent the trophies being taken down South. With Dave Kibble taking the peeling prize and Richard H Smith, unexpectedly knocked out in the first round by Martin, winning the Edinburgh plate it was a clean sweep for the visitors.
The format was the same as usual, first round single games and best of three from then on, though a single game final was played due to time pressure on the Sunday afternoon. Thirteen players meant a bye for Andrew Willis who was travelling from Bath on the Saturday morning, though it should be noted that he still got to the club half an hour before Dave Nick who got lost between his B&B and the club. The weather was unseasonably cold but dry and there was a lively tournament dinner at the Omar Khayyam on the Saturday evening, where we discovered that one of our number had once won a pie eating championship, scoffing 28 pies in 45 minutes. I’m assuming he wishes to remain anonymous.
