Min Woo Lee has had to watch another title slip agonisingly away as South Korea's Tom Kim pipped him from earning victory in the Scottish Open, the tournament where the Australian star first made his international name.
Lee, who was a breakthrough champion back in 2021 in this event, clung on doggedly in pursuit of Kim on Sunday (Monday AEST) at the Renaissance Club at North Berwick, only to fall two shots short as the Korean played bogey-free during a tight run-in to the finish and closed with a decisive six-under par 64.
Kim ended up celebrating his first PGA Tour title since 2023, finishing on a 17-under-par 263, with Lee's last-round 67 proving not quite enough.
