Banchory's Greig Hutcheon added £3,373 to his bank balance over two days and 36 holes when he followed up Friday's success in the Deeside pro-am by winning Saturday's Drumpellier pro-am with a six-under-par 65.
Hutcheon earned £1,262 for a flawless round studded with birdies at the second, third, fourth, ninth, 15th and 17th. He received £1,111 for his Friday victory.
At Drumpellier Greig had a shot to spare from Alan Lockhart (Ladybank) who had an eagle 2 at the 17th and birdies at the second, fourth, ninth, 11th and 15th but bogeys at the 13th and 16th.
It was Hutcheon's sixth domestic win of the season and means that three players are neck and neck at the top of the Tartan Tour money table - Stephen Gray (Hayston) £18,475, Hutcheon £18,258 and Paul McKechnie (Braid Hills) £18,207.
Gray and McKechnie have both won seven pro-ams this year.
Hutcheon is not the first pro to win successive pro-ams on the PGA Scotland circuit this year - Stephen Gray, for one accomplished the feat.
But non-one has completed a hat-trick ... and Hutcheon is in the field for today's pro-am at Easter Moffat.
