A capacity field contested the 2022 title in fine, sunny, conditions over the Prestwick links, where an unusual North/North East breeze which stiffened throughout the mid afternoon made scoring testing.
Out in the first group of the day, Scott Brown posted the lead in the first round with a one under par total of 68, leaving him a single shot ahead of former winner Craig Hamilton (Ballochmyle) and Adam Sweeney (Prestwick St Cuthbert) on 69.
In the second round, Scott Brown repeated his morning effort with a second successive 68 for a two under par total of 136 for the 36 holes, and a six shot victory, ahead of runner up Iain Brown (Largs) who followed a morning 73 with a fine 69 in the afternoon for a 142 total overall.
Craig Hamilton added a second round 74 to his morning score of 69 to take third place, one shot further back on 143, whilst Max Barclay (Ayr Belleisle) returned rounds of 74 and 71 for a 145 total and fourth place.
