RUSSELL Weir's earnings for the season topped the #10,000 mark

yesterday, when the Cowal professional carded a five-under-par 65 in

pouring rain to win the #911 top prize in the Peterhead Pro-Am by a

stroke from Paul Lawrie.

Despite dropping a stroke at the penultimate hole Weir, with a prize

collection of four birdies and an eagle, succeeded in squeezing home

ahead of Lawrie for whom a birdie-birdie finish was not quite enough.

Fraser Mann was third on 67, with Jim Farmer involved in a three-way

tie for fourth spot, after shooting a 68, four strokes outside his

course record. Leading scores:

65 -- R Weir (Cowal).

66 -- P Lawrie (Kings Links).

67 -- F Mann (Carnoustie Golf Centre).

68 -- F Coutts (Deeside), J Farmer (J Farmer G and L); M McLaren

(Longniddry).

69 -- G Forbes (Deeside); D B Scott (Douglas Park); S McGregor

(Glasgow); S Thompson (Gleddoch).

70 -- L Mann (Carnoustie Golf Centre); G Taylor (Newmachar); B

Davidson (Kings Links); C Everett (Caldwell); J Wither (Paisley).

Team: 56 -- D Scott, G Strachan, J Fraser, R Leslie (Peterhead GC).
