Big name Scottish players used to dominate the pro ranks but lately there has been a dip in Scots really challenging for titles. However, the last three weeks has highlighted what looks like to be a promising resurgence for Scots on tour. Two out of the last three tournaments have been won by players from the country that gave us this magnificent game. Paul Lawrie, who has been playing the best golf of his life recently, won the Johnnie Walker Championship two weeks ago on home soil, his second win in a season which has seen a personal revival which is great to see. Then, the following week, we had a back to back Scottish wins with Richie Ramsay winning the Omega European Masters in Switzerland, by an impressive four shot margin. Then this past week at the KLM, Richie followed up his second tour win with a tied 2nd on a leaderboard that also featured countryman Scot Jamieson just one place back.
Whether they are all being pulled along in
the slipstream of Lawrie’s resurgence or whether the depth in talent is finally showing
through, its great to see the country that gave us the game getting back to the
top of it.
