It took 14 years, Scott Jamieson wins Nexo Championship at home in Scotland.. Final Results

 DP World Tour : Nexo Championship  Leaderboard 

Scott Jamieson earned his second DP World Tour win almost 14 years after his first with a two-shot victory at the 2026 Nexo Championship.

Scott Jamieson ends 14-year wait for DP World Tour title

The Scot made it back-to-back home winners at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire, following Grant Forrest's success last year, as a final round of 67 saw him to -11 and ensured he held off England's Matthew Jordan.

An emotional Jamieson said: "Fourteen years, that's wild. It's just so tough, so hard to win.

"I was so patient all day... just can't believe I've won."

Jordan's compatriot Andy Sullivan was third outright after overnight leader Shaun Norris' challenge faded following a two-stroke penalty on the front nine.

Jamieson rolled in a solid birdie putt at the seventh and a longer one at the eighth, and he went desperately close to a third in succession while Jordan made an unfortunate double bogey at the ninth after failing to execute a tricky escape from rough on the side of a dune.

Norris suffered a two-shot penalty after he was adjudged to have broken Rule 8.1 - Players Actions That Improve Conditions Affecting the Stroke - in moving a divot from under his feet in the fifth fairway.

That dropped him out of the lead as he turned for home and left Jamieson as the outright leader. The Scot began his back nine with two more birdies, extending his run to four in five holes.

He dropped a shot at the 13th and with Jordan having birdied the 12th, the lead was back down to one shot - until Jamieson pulled two clear again with a birdie at the spectacular 14th hole.

Jamieson struck a decisive blow at the 17th when he got up and down from a bunker in front of the green to save par and then watched Jordan's own par putt stay up on the left edge of the hole.

That gave Jamieson a three-shot lead to take down the last and he made a safe par, with Jordan's up-and-down for a birdie making certain of second place on his own.

SUMMARY

Sullivan holed a long birdie putt from well off the back of the 11th green for a second straight birdie, and fourth in six holes, then mixed two birdies and two bogeys in the closing holes for a 68 to finish 3rd -7

Quim Vidal, Marcus Kinhult and Keita Nakajima shared 4th at -6, with Norris' 76 leaving him -5 alongside Fabio Zanotti and Richard Mansell - who in contrast shot 65 to claim the Course Record and a $10,000 bonus

Jamieson also finished as the winner of the Closing Swing, adding a $200,000 bonus to take his week's earnings beyond the $700,000 mark, and climbed from 135th to 42nd on the Race to Dubai Rankings.
