Paju, Seoul - Scotland’s Scott Jamieson ended a 14-year title drought on Sunday, capturing the 2026 Nexo Championship at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire to claim his second career DP World Tour title.
The 42-year-old closed with a five-under-par 67 to finish at 11-under 277, securing a two-stroke victory over England’s Matthew Jordan. Jamieson’s win keeps the trophy in home hands for a second consecutive year, following Grant Forrest’s victory at the venue last summer, and marks his first tour triumph since the 2012 Nelson Mandela Championship—a span of 5,005 days.
Beginning the final day three shots adrift of 54-hole leader Shaun Norris, Jamieson mounted an early charge with three front-nine birdies. The turning point arrived when South Africa’s Norris was assessed a two-stroke penalty for a breach of Rule 8.1 (improving conditions affecting the stroke), handing the Scot sole possession of the lead. Jamieson capitalized with back-to-back gains on the 10th and 11th, maintaining his composure down the stretch to seal an emotional win.
“Fourteen years, that’s wild... it’s so hard to win,” Jamieson said after getting his hands on the trophy. “Trying to win is enjoyable, but the grind when you’re struggling for points is tough. To win on home soil in Scotland and get a couple of years of free golf is just amazing. I stayed patient all week, and working with my coach Jamie Gough over the last couple of months made a huge difference.”
The $500,000 winner’s check vaults Jamieson from 135th to 42nd on the Race to Dubai Rankings, guaranteeing his playing privileges through 2028 and extending a remarkable 16-year streak of retaining his DP World Tour card.
Jordan signed for a final-round 68 to finish solo second at nine-under-par, while Norris finished two shots further back in third at seven-under. England’s Andy Sullivan, Spain’s Quim Vidal, and Paraguay’s Fabrizio Zanotti shared fourth place at six-under-par.
Meanwhile, England’s Richard Mansell set a new course record at Trump International Golf Links, firing a blistering seven-under 65 to claim the $10,000 Nexo Course Record bonus and finish tied for seventh.
