Murrayfield tour pro Mark Kerr shot probably the lowest round of his golfing career today  in winning the top prize of £1,336 in the Roselle pro-am at Aberdour Golf Club.
Kerr returned a score of 60, seven under par for the Fife course, with birdies at the short seventh and ninth and a bogey at the first in an outward half of 32.
He came sailing home in 28 with an eagle 2 at the 14thy and birdies at the long 10th, short 12th, 16th and 27th.
"It was a professional record for the Aberdour course but not for a Scottish PGA event," said tournament director Roy Murray. "We have had scores lower than 60 by professionals in pro-ams at the Glencruitten course, Oban."
Kerr had three 2s, six 3s and nothing higher than a 4 on his scorecard.
Kerr finished two shots ahead of runner-up Scott Henderson (Kings Links) who collected a £1,068 reward for a 62 which included birdies at the short second, fifth, short seventh, long 10th, 11th, 14th and short 18th. He had bogeys at the sixth and 13th.
David Patrick (Elie) finished third with a 63 which earned him £801.
Craig Ronald (Carluke) steered the Brewin Dolphin 2 trio of amateurs - John McGlynn (6), Gavin Thain (14) and Simon Ross (12) - to victory in the pro-am team event with a net score of 53.
