RUSS Berry completed back-to-back wins for the first time when he triumphed by two shots at the rearranged Lilley Brook Pro-Am.
Just 24 hours after sharing top spot at The Mendip, the powerful 26-year-old teaching professional from the Richard Ballard Driving Range at Coleford blistered his way round in five-under-par 64.
The former Cleeve Hill assistant, who topped the region's 2008 Titleist-FootJoy Young Professionals League, won in style and was the only player not to drop a shot.
After starting with two birdies, he picked up further birdies at the seventh, 13th and 15th. He signed for seven threes and a two.
It was his fourth success of the season but his first outright victory as he shared first place at Sherborne and East Devon.
He accelerated past Challenge Tour and former European Tour player Sion Bebb (Vale Hotel), who posted a three-under 66 with the help of five birdies, to win £560.
Ross Langdon (Henbury) jumped into a share of third place after holing a seven iron at the 142-yard 11th hole.
Prolific Dorset pair Lee Thompson (Dudsbury) and Michael Watson (Wessex) also shot 67s. Newent's Ian Brown carded a 74.
