Golfers Jackpot!!

GOLFER William McKie is just four putts away from a possible million pound jackpot.

William (36), who stays at Stranraer's Leafield, has only been playing for a year.

But he was stunned this week to learn that he had been selected as one of ten finalists who have won through to an amazing golf shoot-out.

His chance of glory is all thanks to his mum Maureen Parker.

She collected tokens from The Sun newspaper, who are running the competition.

From thousands of entrants, William was selected at random as one of ten finalists who will compete next week for the huge cash prize.

The competition is being held at Gleneagles Golf Course and the ten finalists are each guaranteed £1000 just for turning up.

They get three putts each; with the person who is closest to the pin on average being the winner.

That means a prize of £10,000 and the chance to go for a million.
