INVERNESS, Scotland (AP) — Jeev Milkha Singh of India has birdied the first playoff hole against Francesco Molinari to win the Scottish Open and earn a spot in next week’s British Open.
Singh, the son of an Olympic 400-meter runner, knocked in a 10-footer on No. 18 Sunday for his fourth victory on the European Tour.
Both players finished regulation play at 17-under 271, with Singh shooting a final round 5-under 67, and third-round leader Molinari shooting 72.
Local favorite Marc Warren was three shots ahead at one point in the final round, but dropped four strokes over the final four holes and tied for third with Alexander Noren of Sweden at 16-under.
