| Michael Stewart |
Stewart, 22, a member of the winning GB and I Walker Cup team at Royal Aberdeen in September 2011, shot 68, 71 and 72 for a five-under-par total of 211 - five shots behind the winner of the £9,000 first prize, Welshman Simon Edwards (66-72-68).
Stewart had a roller-coaster final round in which he had a triple bogey 8 at the long second and a double bogey 6 at the fourth but also birdied the first, seventh, 11th, 13th and 18th
In his first-round 68, Stewart had seven birdies and a double bogey.
Stewart's cash reward was £3,375, an overdue and welcome change of luck for the 2010 Scottish amateur champion and 2008 Scottish boys title-winner for whom little has gone right since he turned professional.
Former Ryder Cup Scot Andrew Coltart earned £2,500 for a joint ninth place finish after he followed scores of 75 and 72 with a brilliant final round of seven-under-par 65 (31-34) in which he had and eagle and six birdies plus a bogey at the last hole.
There were two more Scots in the field of 31 players for the event which had generous prizemoney of £90,000 .
Raymond Russell finished joint 17th on 214 with scores of 76, 68 and 70 and earned £1,700.
Scott Drummond finished 22nd on 217 (71-74-72) and earned £1,400.
