Robin Welsby was reunited with his former PGA North Region pals in the Glenmuir Overseas Pro-Am at the Vilamoura resort in Portugal - and then blew them away!
The former Cheshire professional, who teaches at German club Hude, stole their thunder with a two shot victory over Ashton-in-Makerfield European Senior Tour player Peter Allan.
Conditions were not conducive to low scoring, evidenced by Welsby's four round total of six-over-par.
Best card of the week was a 69 by Bolton-based Steve Parry on the first day but he fell out of contention as Lee Park's Chris Crowder claimed third place some six shots off the pace.
Crowder will be in action again on Tuesday when the MyProGolfer Fairhaven Winter Pro-am Series resumes, the 30-strong field including Paul Eales, who is playing the Challenge Tour this week in Colombia.
