Kingsknowe's Allyn Dick added to his list of victories in Lanark Golf Club's Newlands Trophy event - reduced from 72 to 36 holes this year, but only after a three-way play-off.
Dick (74-68), Kevin Loughrie (Cambuslang) (72-70) and Ryan McKenzie (Erskine) (70-72) finished three shots clear of a smaller field than usual, the rain kept many of the entrants way, with two-over-par totals of 142.
Dick won a three-hole aggregate play-off with a birdie-birdie-par sequence. It was the third Newlands Trophy success for the Kingsknowe GC member. His previous wins were in 2010 and 2011 when the tournament was over four rounds.
