He had bogeys at the second and 15th but still managed to win by a stroke from joint runners-up Craig Haugh (Cawder), another new face near the top of a PGA in Scotland event, and Mark Kerr (Marriott Dalmahoy). They both earned £853.

Haugh birdied the first, third, 10th, 12th and 14th but had a costly bogey at the 15th. 

And Kerr too, with birdies at the sixth, seventh, 11th, 12th and 18th will be rueing a bogey at the 17th which cost him a share of first place.
