McBain secures Edzell bounty

Aberdeen-based Greg McBain (Gamola Golf) scored his third win of the season - his first outright success - in the Edzell Pro-Am.

McBain, 29, followed up shared successes at Bishopbriggs and Buchanan Castle with a five-under-par 66 to win the £916 prize ahead of Stephen Gray (Hayston), Paul McKechnie (Braid Hills) and Graham Fox (Clydeway Golf) who tied for second place on 67 and earned £565 each.

McBain had a bogey-free card with birdies at the first, seventh, long ninth, 13th and long 18th. This win boosts his Tartan Tour earnings from 14 events this season to £6,238.

It was his sixth top five finish - definitely a rising star on the Scottish pro circuit.

Gray and Fox both had five birdies but one bogey while McKechnie had four birdies and no bogeys.
