Chris Doak claimed the biggest win of his career last night as he secured the Gleneagles scottish PGa championship in a play-off.
The 32-year-old from Greenock edged out West Linton's Gareth Wright with a birdie four at the fourth extra hole after both had tied at the top on 15-under 269s.
Doak, twice winner of the Northern open, began the week by being disqualified from the European Challenge Tour's roma open but the former Tartan Tour No 1 landed the ?8,250 first prize on the king's course.
The Bob Torrancecoached Doak said: "it's my biggest win."
Doak had shared the lead with Mark kerr with a round to play but it was Welshman Wright who surged to the top and set the clubhouse target with a two-under 69 in blustery conditions. Doak, who kick-started his final round with an eagle two on the 14th, then made a crucial birdie on the last in a 71 to force the play-off.
Both birdied the par five 18th three times before the deadlock was broken the fourth time when Wright three-putted from distance for a par and Doak took two putts from 15-feet to get down for a birdie.
kerr sagged to a 73 to share third with Greig hutcheon, who closed with a 66 and clinched the Tartan Tour's order of merit for the third time.
