Kim ends 1,001-day wait for win as Fitzpatrick, MacIntyre fall short in Scotland

Tom Kim ended his 1,001-day wait for a fourth PGA Tour title by closing out an impressive two-shot win at the Genesis Scottish Open, as Robert MacIntyre missed out on a home victory.

Kim went into the final round a shot behind co-leaders MacIntyre, Matt Fitzpatrick and Min Woo Lee at the Renaissance Club, where an impressive blemish-free 65 put him top of a congested leaderboard.

The Korean ended on 17 under and two clear of Lee, who posted a three-under 67, to claim a first worldwide win since the 2023 Shriners Children's Open and move back inside the world's top 50.

MacIntyre ended four strokes back in tied-third with Fitzpatrick, Keita Nakajima and Johnny Keefer, who claimed a last-minute spot for The Open as one of the leading three players not already exempt for Royal Birkdale.

Rory McIlroy had made a Sunday charge after posting five birdies in his first seven holes, with a final-round 64 matching his lowest of the season and lifting him to tied-seventh alongside Michael Thorbjornsen.

Thorbjornsen and Victor Perez - who finished tied-ninth - claimed the other two spots for the final men's major of the year, while defending champion Chris Gotterup and US Open winner Wyndham Clark fells to tied-11th and tied-13th respectively after one-over 71s.

How Kim closed out Genesis Scottish Open victory

MacIntyre joined Fitzpatrick in birdieing the par-five first and briefly moved into the solo lead when his playing partner bogeyed the next, only for Kim - playing in the group ahead - to pull level by posting two birdies in his first four holes.

Kim extended his lead by taking advantage of the par-five seventh and rolling in from 15 feet to also birdie the 10th, as MacIntyre lost ground with four bogeys in a seven-hole stretch from the fourth.

Lee had followed a front-nine 34 by matching Kim's birdie at the 12th and add another at the 14th, briefly getting him within one, only for Kim to make a six-foot birdie at the 16th and par his final two holes to set the winning total.

"I played probably as good as I could have down the stretch with the pressure," Kim said. "I executed where I needed to. I'm very proud of myself for just being calm up there and just treating each shot as every shot out there."

Fitzpatrick mixed four birdies with three bogeys in his one-under 69, while MacIntyre followed a 30-foot eagle at the 12th with two late birdies to also end the week on 13 under.
