McIlroy Closes with 64 as Kim Takes Scottish Open Title
- On Sunday, South Korean golfer Kim won the Scottish Open, holding off a strong chasing pack on the back nine without dropping a shot and securing victory with a four-foot par putt on the 18th.
- Kim's comeback victory followed two years of struggle on the PGA Tour, during which he said, "I've had a tough couple of years" while working to regain momentum without much attention.
- Rory McIlroy shot his lowest round of the week with a closing 64, firing 30 on the front nine and adding three birdies on the inward nine to finish 12-under-par overall.
- Min Woo Lee finished alone in second with a closing 67, while Johnny Keefer, the Korn Ferry Tour player of the year in 2025, and Michael Thorbjornsen earned final British Open spots at Royal Birkdale next week.
- McIlroy moves to Royal Birkdale next week seeking to surpass Nick Faldo's modern European record of six major championship wins, saying, "I need to do a bit of work between now and next Thursday" though he noted positive signs.
