Chris Gotterup shot 61 on Friday to take control of the Genesis Scottish Open and then closed it out Sunday with a 66. He earned his second PGA Tour title, finishing two shots clear of Rory McIlroy and Marco Penge. Here’s a look at the final leaderboard for those who made the cut at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland:
Rory McIlroy and Chris Gotterup get under way in one minute. After driving into a bunker he has a chance to save par from inside five feet but can't take it. Frustration for the American. The penultimate group of the day have just teed off at the first.
For many, it's the final tune-up ahead of the last major on the PGA Tour's 2025 calendar. For others, Sunday in Scotland means the top three golfers not already in the British Open field will earn their way into some tee times at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

Rory McIlroy is upbeat despite missing out on the Scottish Open title in a dramatic final day in East Lothian.
The final three spots in the 2025 British Open went to the top finishers in the Genesis Scottish Open not already in the British field.
While some may be focused on fine tuning for Royal Portrush -- the final major of the season -- time is also running out to pick up a big win on the 2025 campaign. The Scottish Open is also a nice warm-up for golf fans in the United States as it provides a chance to get ready for The Open viewing schedule that requires some extra coffee for those early morning golf hours.
