Paul McKechnie lived up to his "Mr Consistency" tag by winning today's £7,371 Hayston Golf Club, Glasgow pro-am with a six-under-par score of 64.
It was the Braid Hills Golf Range pro's fourth win of the Tartan Tour season, his 12th top-five finish and his 17th top-10 finish - an amazing success rate in only 24 events.
The first prize of £1,365 boosted his season's earnings to £11,666.
Milton of Campsie-based McKechnie, pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency, packed eight birdies into a 15-hole stretch, sandwiched between a bogey to start with and a bogey at the 18th as well.
He birdied the long second, third, fifth, ninth, 10th, 12th, 14th and 16th.
Runner-up on 66 was Chris Kelly (Cawder) who highlighted his card with an eagle 3 at the long second.
James McKinnon (Irvine) piloted the Porcelan Plus trio of amateurs - Jack Pollok (8), Lawrence McGlynn (10) and Kirk Pollock (14) - to victory in the pro-am team event with a net total of 57. They won it on a card countback from two other teams who also finished on 57.
