Chris Gotterup outlasts Rory McIlroy to win Scottish Open

Scottie Scheffler tied for eighth in the Scottish Open and while Rory McIlroy cut into his margin with a tie for second, McIlroy still trails Scheffler by 836 points. Winning the Open in his home country and Scheffler missing the cut won't be enough to make up that difference: the Open winner will get 750 points.
Playing alongside fellow 54-hole co-leader Rory McIlroy in the final group of the final round of the Genesis Scottish Open, Gotterup closed in 4-under 66 to post 15-under 265 at The Renaissance Club, good for a two-stroke victory and 500 FedExCup points. It pays out $1,575,000 in prize money allocated from a purse of $9 million.
Rory McIlroy came within a whisker of his second Genesis Scottish Open title, but ultimately finished two strokes behind a surprising winner.
