Jamieson takes Trump call after ending 14-year title wait
Scott Jamieson shoots a final round of 67 at the Nexo Championship to end his 14-year drought and earn a video call with President Donald Trump.
Scott Jamieson, a Scottish golfer, claimed his first DP World Tour title in 14 years after a thrilling final round at the Nexo Championship in Aberdeenshire. This victory, which effectively safeguarded his professional status, was met with an unexpected call from President Donald Trump. The 42-year-old Scot found himself on a video call with the U.S. president following his win, a tradition that saw compatriot Grant Forrest receive the same call last year.
Jamieson spoke highly of the President's engagement, stating that it was really cool to hear him following along during the tournament. His final round of 67 saw him surge from three shots back and defeat England's Matthew Jordan by just a couple of strokes, ending the day at 11 under par. The win came as a much-needed boost for Jamieson, who had faced the specter of losing his card and job.
With this triumph, he secured his playing rights for the upcoming season and has expressed gratitude for the opportunity to continue improving his game and aiming for higher ranks.
