Dunbar's Neil Fenwick scored his third win of the season on the Tartan Tour with a five-under-par round of 65 in the Bothwell Castle Pro-Am.
Fenwick claimed the £1,225 first prize, boosting his domestic tour earnings this year to £8,675 from 25 competitions with a round that had birdies at the long first, third, fourth, short 11th, 13th and 15th. His solitary bogey came at the short 17th.
His previous wins were at Newmachar and West Lothian.
Joint runners-up, only a shot behind on 66, were Robert Arnott (Bishopbriggs), Stephen Gray (Hayston) and Paul O'Hara (Clydeway Golf). They each earned £755.
Arnott and Gray had five birdies and a bogey each while O'Hara had a bag of six birdies but also a double bogey at the sixth.
Neil Fenwick scored a double whammy as he also led the Mannering Industrial Supplies trio of Paul Coughlin (7), Robert Shaw (15) and James Raeburn (13) to victory in the pro-am with a net score of 14-under-par 56.
Grant Smith (Gleneagles Hotel) matched that with the Rowan Timber team but lost out in the card play-off with a poorer net inward half than the winners.
