Banchory's Greig Hutcheon limbered up for the PGA play-offs in Turkey later this month with a sparkling five-under-par 65 to win the £140 first pro prize in today's North-east Alliance fixture at Buckpool Golf Club.

Hutcheon highlighted halves of 31 (four under par) and 34 (one under) with an eagle 3 at the third and birdies at the first, ninth, 16th and 18th.

Only blemish on his card was a bogey 5 at the 14th.

He headed a field of 92 by one shot from David Law (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) and last week's amateur winner at Craibstone, Adam Dunton (McDonald Ellon).

Law had six birdies in halves of 34-32, including the last three holes. Dunton was out in 32 but home in 34.

MESSAGE FROM JT SEC DAVE WILSON
One of our players' caddie cars broke down at Buckpool. He left it at back of fourth green. On returning to the spot at end of play. the woner of the caddie car, Alan Gall, found the lithium battery was missing. 
I sincerely hope that one of our members removed said battery and will hand it to me at Montrose next week.
