Jamieson wins Nexo Championship at Trump’s course in Scotland for first title in 14 years

ABERDEEN, Scotland (AP) — Scottish golfer Scott Jamieson claimed victory at the Nexo Championship, a major European Tour event, on Sunday. He accomplished this feat by a two-shot margin at the Trump International Golf Links, an exclusive course owned by former U.S. President Donald Trump in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Jamieson's triumph marks his first European Tour title in 14 years.

Jamieson's 5-under 67 score propelled him to a total of 11-under par for the tournament. This was his second victory on the European Tour, with his previous win coming at the Nelson Mandela Championship in South Africa back in 2012. His runner-up, England's Matthew Jordan, posted a 70, while fellow British player Andy Sullivan finished third with a 68.

Prior to his win, overnight leader Shaun Norris finished tied for seventh place after a 76, demonstrating a strong yet ultimately unsuccessful attempt at claiming the championship.
