Jamieson Wins Nexo Championship at Trump's Course in Scotland for First Title in 14 Years
Scott Jamieson closed with a 67 and finished 11 under par to beat Matthew Jordan by two shots and end a 14-year DP World Tour drought.
- Scott Jamieson won the Nexo Championship by two shots at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, on Sunday, securing his first European tour title in 14 years.
- Emulating Grant Forrest's feat 12 months ago, the 42-year-old Scot finished at 11-under par, ending a drought since winning the 2012 Nelson Mandela Championship in South Africa.
- Overnight leader Shaun Norris faltered with a closing 76 after receiving a two-shot penalty for violating Rule 8.1, which covers "actions that improve conditions affecting the stroke."
- Englishman Matthew Jordan finished runner-up after shooting 70, while Andy Sullivan placed third, propelling Jamieson from 136th to 42nd in the Race to Dubai standings.
- Now ranked 42nd, the champion has set his sights on qualifying for the season-ending Dubai World Tour Championship, a significant shift after previously fighting to retain his tour card.
