Grant Forrest eased to victory on home soil for the second time in his career with a four-shot success at the Nexo Championship \u2013 and then received a video call from United States president Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
Forrest\u2019s victory was at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen and, shortly after collecting his trophy, he was being congratulated by the owner and 47th president of the USA over FaceTime.<\/p>\n
\u201cI watched it… he\u2019s some player. I look forward to playing with him \u2013 in fact I will play with him tomorrow if he could get on a plane,\u201d Trump said in the call, shared on X by the DP World Tour. \u201cWhat a round of golf. What three rounds of brilliant golf. It\u2019s a great honour you won, thank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Forrest, who lifted his maiden DP World Tour title at St Andrews four years and two days ago, took control of windy conditions over the weekend but saw his three-shot overnight advantage trimmed to two after Todd Clements\u2019 birdie on the opening hole.<\/p>\n
However, when Forrest birdied the fourth and Clements carded a triple-bogey eight at the same hole, the Scot led by five and never looked back.<\/p>\n
The world number 294, who double-bogeyed the last, added two more birdies and a dropped shot in a closing 72 to finish with an eight-under-par total.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s amazing, just speechless,\u201d Forrest said. \u201cI think it is the same week as I won four years ago on the calendar so just amazing, that must say something about this week and being at home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just can\u2019t believe it. It\u2019s been such a tough year on the golf course. It\u2019s just a crazy game that you can go and come out and do this, with what feels out of nowhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just that old chestnut that one week can turn things around and it has.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joe Dean nervelessly parred the last to claim solo second at four under, with John Parry one shot further behind alongside Norway\u2019s Kristoffer Reitan and Denmark\u2019s Jacob Skov Olesen.<\/p>\n
Jordan Smith finished sixth at two under, while Clements, Andy Sullivan and Finland\u2019s Oliver Lindell were a further shot adrift \u2013 the only nine players to finish the tournament under par.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Grant Forrest with wife Christy and son Spencer after winning the Nexo Championship at Trump International Golf Links…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334412,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5009],"tags":[748,32,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-334411","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-scotland","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115007257692709809","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
