President Donald Trump Calls Scott Jamieson After Historic Victory
BBC Sport Scotland reports that President Donald Trump reached out to Scott Jamieson after the Scot ended his 14-year wait for a second DP World Tour title at the Nexo Championship in Aberdeenshire.
"He was very complimentary and it sounds like he was actually watching it," Jamieson shared, referring to Trump's video call. "...he is the President of the United States."
The win, Jamieson's second on the DP World Tour, secured his playing rights for next season, easing fears of losing his card.
Key Moments:

- A two-shot penalty on South Africa's Shaun Norris, for kicking a loose divot, shifted the momentum in Jamieson's favor.
- The victory ended Jamieson's 14-year drought since his last DP World Tour win in 2012.

"There have been times where I've thought 'I might be losing my job here' so thankfully I don't need to worry about that for over the next few weeks," he added.
