Overview
- Tom Kim closed with a bogey-free 64 to win the Genesis Scottish Open by two strokes, finishing 17 under and collecting the £1.2 million winner’s prize and a place in next year’s Masters.
- Heavy fog forced organisers to suspend Saturday’s third round and push many groups to complete holes early on Sunday, complicating travel and preparation for next week’s Open Championship.
- Robert MacIntyre, Min Woo Lee and Matt Fitzpatrick shared the 54-hole lead at 12 under after the delayed third round, but Kim surged past them in the final round to secure the title.
- Rory McIlroy matched Kim’s closing 64 but was caught on a hot mic saying “Oh my god, I am so bad at golf” and has since said he must fix iron‑shot issues before heading to Royal Birkdale.
- The R&A introduced ‘The Open Commitment’ fan code and said it can change tee times to avoid clashes, added a Last‑Chance Qualifier and other operational measures for an expected record crowd at The Open.
