James Wilson, from Balmore Golf Club, near Glasgow, finished 8th in the Under-21 boys' category after a disappointing final round of 80. His earlier rounds of 77 and 71 had him in fourth place with 18 holes to play at the Berlin Sports Club..
But in his final round James had a triple bogey 7 at the first and a double bogey 6 at the eighth in a nightmare outward half of 44.
He came home in 36 with birdies at the 11th and 16th, bogeys at the 14th and 15th.
England's Jack Yule from Norfolk won the Under-21 category by the massive margin of eight strokes with rounds of 70, 72 and 72 for two-under-par 214.

Amanda and Jo snatch  victory    in  Brenda King Foursomes The South West pairing of Amanda Mayne and Jo Shorrocks made up a two-stroke deficit to score a narrow win in the Brenda King Foursomes at Coxmoor Golf Club, Nottinghamshire.  They finished the second round with scores of birdie, par, par and won by one stroke from the Surrey partnership of Debbie Richards and Felicity Christine. The 36-hole foursomes event attracts pairs from all over the country and is the annual finale to the English senior women’s season. “We are very pleased,” said Mayne, a former England senior international and a member at Saltford in Somerset. “We have never played with each other before –we generally play against each other at County Match Week.”  Shorrocks is a member at Bigbury and represents Devon.  After their first round of five-over 79 they trailed Richards and Christine by two shots - and were still two behind with three holes to play. On the par five 16th Mayne holed a 14ft downhill putt for birdie to reduce the gap to one. They caught up with their playing partners with a par three on the 17th and edged one ahead with a par on the long 18th.  “It was a little bit tight!” said Shorrocks after they returned a second-round 80. “It was quite exciting and to a certain extent it was almost like playing matchplay.” Both Shorrocks and Mayne are working to promote senior golf in their counties and encourage more players to take part in events.  Richards (Burhill) and Christine (Woking) took second place with rounds of 77 83.  Richards was a member of England’s winning teams at last year’s European senior championship and the Senior Home Internationals, while Christine is a past British senior champion.  Third place went to Sue Penfold and Andrea Stockdale of Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, who scored 86 79, pipping Pauline Bramley (Hallamshire) and Carol Simpson (Horsley Lodge) on countback.  Click here for full scores Caption: Amanda Mayne (left) and Jo Shorrocks Lyndsey Hewison Press Officer England Golf pr@englandgolf.org 07825 752 193

Scots bounce back from Day 1 drubbing to share foursomes honours with title holders England

Scotland, determined to step up on Wednesday's performance when they lost 8-0 to Ireland, succeeded in sharing the morning foursomes with title-holders England on Day 2 of the Senior Women's Home International Matches at Elm Park Golf Club, Dublin.
England led 1-0 after a 2 and 1 win by Caroline Berry and Lulu Housman over Alex Glennie and Alison Bartlett.
Berry and Housman won the second, fifth, sixth and seventh for a four-hole lead but that was as good as it got for them.
Glennie and Bartlett scored their first success at the eighth, then lost the ninth to be four down at the turn.
The Scots then halved their deficit by winning both the 10th and 11th. Berry and Housman regained a three-hole lead by winning the 12th but promptly lost the next to be pulled back to a two-hole advantage.
Glennie and Bartlett could make no further inroads with holes 14 to 17 being halved.
Sheena Wood and Lesley Lloyd put Scotland's first point of the tournament on the board by beating Sue Dye and Catherine Rawthore 2 and 1.
The Scots won the second and third for a two-hole lead and were never behind after that although they were pulled back to all square after Dye and Rawthore won the sixth and seventh.
Wood and Lloyd regained the lead by winning the eighth and went two up at the 10th.
After three halved holes, Dye and Rawthore won the 14th to be one down  with four to play.
The 15th and 16th were halved before the Scots on the 17th for victory.
The remaining tie was halved with England's Julie Brown and Lindsey Shaw two up after five holes and two holes ahead again after the 14th but unable to hold the Scots at bay over the closing holes.
Wood and Lloyd won the 16th and 17th to square the match and the 18th was halved.
Ireland and Wales were level at 1.5pt each after their foursomes.
