Matty Wilson overturned a 10-shot deficit at the halfway stage to join Nick Faldo on the Craigmillar Park Open roll of honour.

After opening with 71-69, the Forres player stormed to the top of the leaderboard with closing scores of 63, the best of the event, and 66 to finish on 11-under-par.

He won by two shots from Greg Wishart, who was out in front after Saturday scores of 66-64 before adding 70-71.

Wishart finished three shots ahead of Clydebank & District’s Steven Stewart (69-72-65-68) in third place.

Shot of the event was produced by St Andrews New player Aamar Saleem, who aced the 15th in the second circuit.

In-form Wilson followed up his win by also picking up the Battle Trophy at Crail eight day later with a seven-shot success at the Fife venue.
