Greig Hutcheon quickly recovered from his last-round slump in the cold and wet at the Gleneagles Scottish professional championship earlier in  the week by winning the first prize of £1,250 in the £6,750 Portpatrick Dunskey Golf Club pro-am at the weekend.
The Paul Lawrie Golf Centre player shot a bogey-free, seven-under-par 63 to finish two shots clear of four players on 65 - Graeme Brown (Montrose Links), Neil Fenwick (Dunbar), Stephen Gray (Hayston) and Sam Binning  (Mearns Castle).
Hutch birdied the third, ninth, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and 18th, coming  home in only 30 strokes.
Joint runner-up Brown also reduced the inward half to 30 shots but he had taken 35 for the first nine.The joint runners-up earned £690 each.
