America's Xander Schauffele took home the Genesis Scottish Open title yesterday after finishing seven under par round East Lothian's Renaissance Club.

Schauffele led after the third round but faced a late charge from compatriot Kurt Kitayama and Korean Joohyung Kim but successfully held onto his lead to claim his first Rolex Series event.

Schauffele said: "It's special. It's different playing over here. You've got to play golf differently. The fans are incredible.

"They pushed me long all day and this is definitely a nice win for my team and myself.

"I was trying to find something.

"Every time I wanted to cut it I hit it way right and every time I wanted to draw it I hit it way left.

"At least it was going the correct direction, but it was going, you know, miles apart.

"And it was nice to sort of hit a few better shots coming down the stretch and kind of calm the ship here.

"It was looking pretty bad for a bit but this one is extra special because of that."

"Genesis has always put on, well the tournaments I have played they have always put on incredible events and I knew this was going to be no different and what an honour to win in the Home of Golf.”
