Steve never looked like he was going to relinquish the lead, staying three shots ahead for most of the day.
Graeme also played good golf despite the pressure of having to chase Steve and managed to card a one under 71 to finish outright second at four under par.
Steve shot a two under 70 on Sunday to ensure he kept the trophy after finishing at seven under the par for the tournament.
