McIlroy takes Scottish Open

Winner’s Circle

PGA Tour & DP World Tour - Scottish Open

Rory McIlroy took home the top honors at the Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club. Battling the characteristically Scottish wind, McIlroy bested Robert MacIntyre by one shot in a dramatic finish.

Rory shot 4-under on his final nine holes and capped it with a birdie-birdie finish. In the post-round interview, he described the 2-iron approach into 18 that setup the birdie as his best shot of the year. With the win, McIlroy became the first player to win the Scottish Open, the Irish Open, and The Open Championship, a remarkable achievement.

The local favorite, Robert MacIntyre, claimed second place, earning $986,000 and just one shot shy of a playoff. MacIntyre put on an amazing performance in difficult conditions to shoot 64 on Sunday in front of his home crowd. His birdie on the last hole put him in the clubhouse as the leader over McIlroy, who still had three holes to play. While ultimately finishing one behind, MacIntyre made a big jump in the European Ryder Cup standings as he looks to earn a spot in Rome.

Tom Kim and Tommy Fleetwood finished tied for sixth, playing alongside Rory McIlroy in the final group. While each struggled a bit on Sunday, a top 10 the week leading into a Major is a good sign.

David Lingmerth made a great par on 18 coming in to secure one of the final three remaining spots in the Open. It was a huge finish for the Swede, who was coming off missing the cut in 8 of his last 9 events. The other two final remaining Open Championship spots went to Ben An and Nicolai Hojgaard.

McIlroy's win sets an electrifying stage for The Open Championship next week at Royal Liverpool, where he triumphed in 2014.

LPGA - Dana Open

Linn Grant secured her first LPGA victory and first win in the United States. Grant has won 5 times on the Ladies European Tour and looks to become a regular at the top of LPGA leaderboards.

On Saturday, Grant had the round of the week, shooting 62 with eight birdies and an eagle. The low Saturday round gave Grant a six-shot lead on the final day that was never in doubt. Grant’s win solidifies her position in the upcoming Solheim Cup in Spain.
