Grant Forrest won his second professional victory at home, winning the Nexo title in Aberdeen with four shots.
The Scots won his first DP World Tour title almost four years ago in St Andrews, and he mastered the bold weekend conditions on Trump’s international golf link to take charge of the game.
The 32-year-old started Sunday’s final round with a three-shot cushion, and his advantage was cut by two after Todd Clements took the opening hole. But when Forrest responded to a birdie in the fourth birdie, while Clements stumbled upon three-arm eight in the same hole, the gap radiated five – Forrest never looked back.
The world’s No. 294 continued to add two birdies, with the last throw of the ball, the last two-arm shot, and the signing with an even contract of 72, with a total of eight shots.
“It’s amazing – just speechless,” Forrest said. “It was the same week that I had my first victory four years ago on the calendar, so maybe there was something this week and it was at home, which made it special.”
“I can’t believe it. It’s been such a tough year on the golf course. It’s just a crazy game where you can come out and do this and everywhere.
“Only a week old chestnut can turn the situation around.”
Joe Dean Nerveles dominates the last to win a solo in fourth place, with John Parry shooting further next to Kristoffer Reitan of Norway and Jacob Skob Olesen of Denmark
