The Kilmarnock Barassie man (pictured) had opened up a big lead with third-round 69 after Saturday scores of 71 and 72 at Glasgow Gailes had him one shot behind halfway leader Matthew Clark (Kilmacolm).
But Aberdour's Scott Crichton, third in the event last year, put together the lowest score of the tournament in the final round - a 65 which set the clubhouse target at 285.
Scott's figures were:
OUT: 4 2 4 3 4 5 3 4 4 - 33
IN: 3 2 4 4 3 5 3 5 3 - 32
McDonald was under pressure after a 6 at the 15th but he calmed his nerves and finished 3 4 3, birdieing the last to avoid a play-off and win the prestigious 72-hole SGU Order of Merit event by a single stroke.
McDonald's final-round scorecard read:
OUT: 4 4 4 3 5 5 4 3 4 - 36
IN: 5 3 5 3 4 6 3 4 3 - 36
Crichton was runner-up and James White (Lundin), winner of the Tennant Cup in 2011, finished third on 286.
