Scot Liam Johnston celebrates maiden pro win

Scot Liam Johnston secured the first tournament success of his professional career with an impressive series of birdies on the back nine of the Tony Jacklin course in Morocco’s Casablanca. 
With a 12 under par total of 203 (71, 64, 68) at the Pro Golf Tour's Open Prestigia, the 25-year old from Dumfries finished one stroke ahead of France's Antoine Schwartz and Jonas Kölbing (Germany), who shared second place. 
Johnston is also the new number 1 in the Order of Merit after three season tournaments.
Chris Robb (Meldrum House) finished T13 on 212 with rounds of 76, 68 and 68. He had 12 birdies over his final 36 holes after notching only one in his first round. 
Craig Howie from Peebles almost made the top 20 with scores of 72, 71 and 70 for 213 - two shots ahead of Peterhead' Ross Cameron (70-71-74).
