Rory McIlroy came within a whisker of his second Genesis Scottish Open title, but ultimately finished two strokes behind a surprising winner.

Chris Gotterup had a plane ticket for California to play an opposite-field event in Lake Tahoe. The only change in itinerary would be to take down Rory McIlroy at the Scottish Open before a sellout crowd expecting the Masters champion to claim his 30th title on the PGA Tour.

For many, it's the final tune-up ahead of the last major on the PGA Tour's 2025 calendar. For others, Sunday in Scotland means the top three golfers not already in the British Open field will earn their way into some tee times at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
