Why It Matters
Scott Jamieson's 14-year wait for a DP World Tour win ended at the Nexo Championship.
Scott Jamieson ended a 14-year wait for a DP World Tour win at the Nexo Championship in Aberdeenshire, securing a -11 finish at Trump International Golf Links. Jamieson, 42, came from three shots back with a final round 67, beating England’s Matthew Jordan by two strokes. The win, his second on the tour after the 2012 Nelson Mandela Championship, ensures his playing rights for next season.
In a traditional post-win gesture, Jamieson received a video call from President Donald Trump, who complimented Jamieson on his play, stating he had been following the tournament. Jamieson described the experience as “really cool,” noting the President’s engagement.
The victory was aided by a bizarre two-shot penalty given to then-leader Shaun Norris for kicking away a loose divot. Defending champion Grant Forrest struggled, finishing 10 over, while fellow Scots Euan Walker and Connor Syme shared 10th place on four under. Jamieson reflected on the win’s significance, having previously worried about losing his tour card, and hopes it will “open doors” for further success.
