Grant Forrest wins on DPWT at Trump International, gets congratulatory call from U.S. president
World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler will not have caddie Ted Scott on his bag during the final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. Golf Channel's Todd Lewis has the latest. ABERDEEN, Scotland — Grant Forrest won his second DP World Tour title Sunday in the Nexo Championship at Trump International Golf Links and got more than just a trophy. Forrest received a video call from the course owner, President Donald Trump. Trump called from his course northwest of Washington, where he was preparing to play. 'I have very good players, but they're not like you, Grant,' Trump said on the call, which the European tour posted on its social media site. 'We all watched you play. What a round of golf. That course is big, it's strong and tough. Your swing is great. And it's a great honor you won.' Forrest, a 32-year-old from Scotland, closed with an ever-par 72 for a four-shot victory over Joe Dean. His other European tour title was four years ago, also in Scotland. It was the second straight week Trump's course along the coast of Aberdeen held a tournament, coming after the Senior PGA Championship on the European Legends Tour, won by Bo Van Pelt of Oklahoma.

Steven Alker shoots 63 to take first-round lead at ISPS Handa Senior Open
Watch highlights from first-round action of the ISPS Handa Senior Open from the Old Course at Sunningdale Golf Club in Berkshire, England. BERKSHIRE, England — Steven Alker had six birdies and an eagle on his way to a 7-under 63 on Thursday on the Old Course at Sunningdale, giving him a one-shot lead in the ISPS Handa Senior Open, the final major of the year on the PGA Tour Champions. Alker has twice won the Charles Schwab Cup and has nine PGA Tour Champions titles, but he has only one senior major, the Senior PGA Championship in 2022. He led by one shot over Mark Hensby of Australia. Defending champion K.J. Choi and Joe Durant were three shots behind at 66. 'I was just efficient today. Drove it in the fairway when I needed to and iron play was solid and just made some putts, especially on the back nine, just kind of kept things rolling,' Alker said. 'Always need momentum. It's a nice opening round for the Senior Open.' Padraig Harrington and Ernie Els were in the group another shot behind. Justin Leonard, who made the cut last week in the British Open at Royal Portrush, was among those at 69.
