Mr Consistent wins by three at Kirkhill

Newmachar's Greg McBain shot a bogey-free six-under-par 64 to win the £1,417 first prize at the Kirkhill Golf Club pro-am.

It was McBain's second win of a consistent season during which he has only once been out of the top 10 in seven Tartan Tour competitions this year.

McBain birdied the fourth, par-five fifth, short eighth and ninth to turn in four-under 31. He gained his fifth and sixth birdies at the 13th and short 16th to come home in two-under 33.

It was his biggest cash reward of the 2016 campaign.

Five players were co-runners-up on 67 and earned £711 each - Alan Welsh (Cathkin Braes) 34-33, Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf) 34-33, Stephen Gray (Lanark) 32-35, Chris Currie (Caldwell) 33-34 and Gavin Hay (Grantown on Spey) 34-33.

Currie also led amateurs Stuart Nelson (handicap 3), Craig Dumigan (18) and Glen Thomas (10) to victory in the pro-am team event with a net score of 13-under-par 57.
