Dan Brown secured his second DP World Tour title by winning the 2025 BMW International Open. Brown, who became the eighth English winner of the tournament, overcame emotional challenges following the recent death of a close friend. He finished the event with only one bogey in his last 54 holes and won by two strokes. Meanwhile, at the 2025 Genesis Scottish Open held at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Chris Gotterup leads the field after shooting a course-record-tying 61 in the second round and maintaining a two-stroke lead with four holes remaining. Rory McIlroy, the Northern Irishman and former Masters champion, is tied for the lead with Gotterup after three rounds and is seeking his 30th PGA Tour win, which would place him tied for 16th on the all-time wins list. Other notable performances include Nico Echavarria, who made a hole-in-one at the par-3 sixth hole, winning a car and carding a 3-under 67 in the third round. Defending Scottish Open champion Robert MacIntyre made the cut and is positioned at one-under par going into the weekend.
