He earned £1,178, his biggest cash prize as a professional.
The Perthshire man was chased home by two Aberdonians: Graeme Lornie (Paul Lawrie Foundation) with a 62 and Scott Henderson (Kings Links) with a 64.
Lornie earned £942 for birdies at the fourth, seventh, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th and 18th in halves of 32 and 30. His only bogey came at the short 13th.
