Bigger name pros such as Lloyd Saltman (Archerfield Links) and Andrew Oldcorn (Kings Acre) finished on 71 and 73 respectively.

Alex Webster (Niddry Castle) won the top handicap award with a net 68 off five, finishing a shot ahead of James Silvestro (Musselburgh) who had a net 69 off seven.

Shot of the day belonged to Craigielaw member David Nicolson who aced the eighth hole with a five iron.
