The Story in 60 Seconds

Scottish golfer Sandy Scott earned his PGA Tour card after securing a one-stroke victory at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship in Columbus, Ohio. The 28-year-old closed with a final-round 65 to finish with a tournament-record total of 18-under-par, claiming $270,000 in prize money. The win advanced him from 13th to second on the Korn Ferry Tour points list with two events remaining.

The promotion marks a major comeback for Scott, who previously endured two wrist surgeries following a 2019 ligament tear that sidelined him for 17 months. He will officially receive his PGA Tour card at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship in three weeks, joining fellow Scottish golfer Bob MacIntyre on the US circuit next season.
