Xander Schauffele is the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open Champion after shooting a level-par 70 on a thrilling final day at The Renaissance Club.

South Africa's Thriston Lawrence became the first winner of the DP World Tour era after the Joburg Open was reduced to a 36-hole event.

Europe’s four best-ever performing groups of picks – from 1987, 2004, 2006 and 2010 – each scored at least 5.5 points. They had another thing in common: a player who had appeared in four or more Ryder Cups.
Brandt Snedeker shot an 11-under par 59 on the opening day of the Wyndham Championship, to fall just one shot off matching the overall PGA Tour record.
