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.

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 under par 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's challenge faded following a two-stroke penalty on the front nine.

The South African 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.

Quim Vidal, Marcus Kinhult and Keita Nakajima shared fourth place on six under, with Norris' 76 leaving him five under alongside Richard Mansell - who in contrast shot 65 to claim the Course Record Presented By Nexo and a $10,000 bonus - and Fabrizio Zanotti.

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.
