By COLIN FARQUHARSONWalker came home in 28 in his final round - birdies at the 10th, 11th, 13th and 14th, an eagle 2 at the par-4 16th, and then a final birdie at the 17th.
His earlier rounds were 68, 69 and 70.
His aggregate of 13-under-par 271 gave him an easy win from runner-up Euan McIntosh (Turnhouse) who had rounds of 72, 68, 67 and 70. His third round inward half was only 30 shots.
McIntosh, a reinstated amateur who was Scottish assistants champion in the 1990s, is 47 and won the Bookless Cup as the leading amateur at last week's Northern Open.
Third place on 279 was shared by Duncan McNeill who covered his last 11 holes in six under par, and Newmachar's Adam Fisher.
