Torphins golfer Greig Hutcheon’s superb 2022 continued after he produced a birdie blitz second round to win the Northern Open for the third time.
The 49-year-old fired a seven-under-par 65 to finish nine under overall at Portlethen Golf Club in Aberdeen to pip Cameron Marr (Kingsfield), Chris Doak (Renaissance) and Graeme Robertson by a stroke.
Hutcheon had previously won the Tartan Tour event in 2010 and 2016.

His round included eight birdies and a solitary bogey at the par-4 sixth.
Hutcheon won the PGA Play-Offs in April to land seven starts on the DP World Tour, including at last month’s Betfred British Masters at The Belfry.
