- Sandy Scott won the Compliance Solutions Championship on Sunday at The Patriot Golf Club in Oklahoma, defeating William Sides in a four-hole playoff to claim his second consecutive Korn Ferry Tour title.
- Scott fired a six-under 64 in the final round, erasing a three-shot deficit to 54-hole leader Trent Phillips and tying Sides at the end of 72 holes before birdieing the fourth extra hole.
- The win vaulted Scott to the top of the Korn Ferry Tour Points List heading into next week's Tour Championship and lifted him to 87th in the Official World Golf Ranking — his first time inside the world's top 100.
- Scott's first Korn Ferry win came two weeks ago at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship, a victory that already secured him a PGA Tour card for the 2027 season.
- The Nairn native and former Walker Cup player tore ligaments in his right wrist in 2019, underwent two surgeries, and spent roughly 24 months on the sidelines fearing he might never play competitive golf again.
- The same wrist flared up again earlier in 2026, sidelining Scott for another two months, but he says he now knows how to manage the injury.
- Scott has now posted two wins and a runner-up finish across his last three Korn Ferry Tour starts.
Why it matters: Scott's back-to-back wins put the 28-year-old in pole position to top the Korn Ferry Tour season-long points race next week and hand Scotland a new name on the PGA Tour in 2027 — a comeback arc that began with a 2019 wrist injury that had him wondering if he'd ever play competitively again.
