FIFE, Scotland – Spaniard Adrian Otaegui captured his first stroke-play title on the European Tour after shooting 9-under 63 in the final round of the Scottish Championship to win by four shots on Sunday.
A hot streak of eight birdies in 11 holes, beginning at the fifth hole, saw Otaegui overhaul third-round leader Matt Wallace, who began the day with a three-stroke advantage but could only finish with a 71.
Otaegui’s previous two wins on the European Tour were match-play events – and one of them was in Scotland, too, at the Paul Lawrie Match Play in 2017.
