Hutcheon and Currie share Elgin pro-am 

victory, earn £787 apiece


By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Greig Hutcheon (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, Inchmarlo) scored his fourth Tartan Tour win of the season and Chris Currie (Caldwell) his third as they tied for victory in today's (FRI) Elgin Golf Club pro-am with  two-under-par 67s.
Hutch and Currie won £787 apiece by contrasting routes. Greig had six birdies, including three 2s, but four bogeys were the low spots on a sparkling card.
Chris had three birdies and one bogey.
They finished a shot ahead of the in-form Gavin Hay (Grantown on Spey) and James McGhee (Swanston New) who shared third place on 68 and earned £459 each.
Greig Hutcheon also piloted the No. 2 team of Arthur McKerron  and Sons to victory with a better ball score of 12-under-par 57. The team members were Kevin McGrath (9), David Rumbles (10) and Mikey Patterson (5).
Paul O'Hara (Speyside Scaffolding 2) and David Thomson (Carnegie Club) also led their teams to net 57s but they lost out on the countback which went down to the very last hole before Hutcheon's team were declared the winners.
