12 months ago, home favourite Robert MacIntyre won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in testing conditions to become the first Scotsman in 20 years to lift the title.
MacIntyre, 29, carded a third round of 66 to finish on 18 under par in the weather-affected championship, only a week after helping Europe win the Ryder Cup in New York.
The tournament was decided over 54 holes after play was wiped out on Saturday because of strong winds during Storm Amy.
Having also won the Scottish Open in 2024 at The Renaissance Club, MacIntyre followed in the footsteps of Colin Montgomerie, who was the last Scotsman to win the Alfred Dunhill in 2005.
MacIntyre's Ryder Cup team-mate Tyrrell Hatton finished second, four shots behind the Scot, after a seven-under round of 65 on Sunday.
MacIntyre, who earned one and a half points for Europe in their Ryder Cup triumph at Bethpage Black, secured his fourth victory on the DP World Tour.
"It's brilliant but I don't know how I'm going to celebrate after the celebrations we had after winning the Ryder Cup, but we'll try our best," MacIntyre said.
"It's a beautiful end to a good week. I've done everything against the book this week. I only pitched up here on Wednesday and had 12 holes.
"The diet has not been good this week and I've eaten plenty of takeaways, fish and chips and plenty of others.
"But sometimes when you least expect it, things happen. I mean, the biggest thing on the three golf courses is stay out the pot bunkers, especially off the tee, and I've done that well apart from the first hole at Carnoustie on the first day. Other than that, I thought I managed it well, stayed out of the pot bunkers, but then once you're in position, it's about controlling the golf ball to then land softly around the pins when you get a chance and I thought me and Mike [his caddie] did a great job on that."
MacIntyre made a fast start to his final round with a birdie on the first hole and reached the turn at four under par.
The Scot hit a precise approach from the rough on the 13th to stay in control of the leaderboard and - despite a bogey on the 17th and a missed birdie putt on the 18th - did enough to seal the win.
South Africa's Richard Sterne, who shared the lead at the start of the day, faded to finish third at 13 under, alongside England's John Parry.
