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' 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.
He said: “I was kind of patient all week. I think when you get the weather like we had, it's easy to be patient because level par is a good score.
“Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I was here practising and I felt like I was hitting the ball really well. Did some good stuff with my coach, Jamie Gough, he's helped me tremendously in the last couple of months.
“So I was feeling good, but that doesn't always translate into good results. But it did this week.”
Jamieson has found himself battling to keep his DP World Tour card in recent years, most notably at the 2023 Qatar Masters where he made five birdies in the final nine holes to jump from 119th to 82nd on the Race to Dubai Rankings delivered by DP World.
This week's result means an even more dramatic leap from 135th to 42nd and secures his card for two more years and he said: “That grind's worse than trying to win. Trying to win's enjoyable.
“But obviously the position I was in this year, you know, I was starting to get to the business end of the season and didn't have a lot of points up.
"So yeah, to win and get a couple of years of free go is nice.”
Sullivan holed a long birdie putt from well off the back of the 11th green for a second straight gain, and fourth in six holes, then mixed two birdies and two bogeys in the closing holes for a 68 to finish seven under.
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.
He is the second home winner in successive weeks, following Jeff Winther's Danish Golf Championship success, and said: “I'm sure we'll have fun tonight. Yeah. Obviously winning in Scotland's cool, really cool.
“Shout out to Jeff Winther winning in Denmark last week. I'm good friends with Jeff, so a little bit of inspiration there.”
