27/08/2017
Montrose Links Assistant Professional Graeme Brown shot his lowest round of the season to claim an 11-under par total of 129 and win the Kerr Investments' 36-hole Order of Merit Pro-Am at Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club.
Brown shot an eight-under par 62 on the final day of action on Sunday to claim the £2,240 top prize – his biggest cheque of the season.
It was a final round to remember for brown who holed nine birdies. Three came on the opening nine at the second, fourth and fifth and picked up back-to-back birdies at the 10th and 11th before holing three in a row at the 14th, 15th and 16th. His only bogey of the round came at the short eighth.
Greig Hutcheon continued his preparations for the 2017 PGA Cup in September with a second round rush. He shot a 63 on Sunday which saw him pick up no fewer than eight birdies. He too had one bogey at the third to finish on 130, one shot behind Brown to earn the runner-up prize of £1,540.
Alastair Forsyth (Mearns Castle), joint halfway leader on 63 with Marc Owenson (Gullane), shot a second round 68 to finished third on 131. Sadly for Owenson, he went on to make 73 on the final day to finish outside the top ten.
Stephen Craig (Craig Golf) led the Dumfries and Galloway No 12 team to a four-stroke victory in the pro-am with a 36-hole tally of 242.
