FORMER European Tour player Stuart Little eagled his way to his first West Region win in almost two years at the North Wilts 125th anniversary pro-am.
The powerful left-handed teaching professional at Minchinhampton New Golf Club made the only two eagles of the day.
He began the shotgun start, limited-field event, dreamed up by host professional Graham Laing with a par, birdie, bogey and eagle.
After his three at the par-five fourth he holed his second shot on the 330-yard eighth. But he was inconsistent so four bogeys restricted him to a two-under-par 69.
However he entered the winner’s circle for the first time since success at Tiverton and was joined by two of his best pals, the Dudsbury pair Mark Wiggett (69) and Lee Thompson (69), whom he coaches.
The trio were two shots ahead of Richard O'Hanlon (St Kew), Russ Berry (Professional Golf Europe) and Ross Langdon, now back at Gloucester Golf Club as teaching professional after a spell at South Cerney.
