Hermeston, a promising and exciting teenager who won the McGregor Trophy in successive years on 2011/12, won his match over Kelan Lowe at Matfen Hall. He played at No 1 for the North in a match played in a great spirit and very pleasant conditions.

PHILIP Waugh guaranteed his spot in PGA North's seven Order of Merit tournaments this season when he won the second of two qualifying schools at Yorkshire club Normanton.

The Hexham assistant achieved it in style with a flawless seven-under-par 65 containing an eagle at the 15th hole to match up with five birdies.
