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

ABERDEEN, Scotland (AP) — Scott Jamieson won the Nexo Championship by two shots at one of President Donald Trump’s golf courses in Scotland on Sunday, securing a first European tour title in 14 years.

The 42-year-old Scot shot 5-under 67 and finished on 11-under par overall at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire.

It was his second title on the tour, after winning the Nelson Mandela Championship in South Africa in 2012.

England’s Matthew Jordan was runner-up after shooting 70 and compatriot Andy Sullivan (68) was two strokes further back in third.

Overnight leader Shaun Norris shot 76 and tied for seventh place.
