Robert Arnott (Bishopbriggs Golf Range) won the Grant's Foods Scottish PGA Senior Championship and the £750 first prize by the resounding margin of nine strokes over two rounds at Haggs Castle Golf Club, Glasgow.
Arnott's opening score of 65 gave him a four-stroke overnight lead from Peter Kerr (Hayston) and he more than doubled that in the very windy conditions for the second round.
Arnott was able to match the par of 72 with birdies at the first, sixth, 13th and 18th, nullified by four bogeys, in halves of 36 for an excellent final total of seven-under-par 137.
In short, the Bishopbriggs man had the best score in the first round and also the best score in the second round!
Kerr was one of many competitors blown off course on the second day. He slumped to an 80 for 149 and a share of fourth place.
Stephen McAllister (S McAllister Golf) (72-74) and Fraser Mann (Carnoustie Golf Links) (70-76), both of whom had double bogey 6s on their cards, shared second place on 146, each earning £517.
