GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) — Jerry Kelly rose to the challenge on the final hole to win the Senior British Open by two shots Sunday for his third senior major title.

The 59-year-old American, who also won the Senior Players in 2020 and 2022, shot a 2-under 68 with four birdies and two bogeys on the Kings course at Gleneagles to finish at 10-under 270.

“The senior Claret Jug is the trophy that I’ve wanted as an over-50 golfer other than any other,” Kelly said. “To do it in Scotland at the home of golf and to actually win and get into the home of golf at St Andrews, I mean, I’m absolutely speechless.”

With his victory, Kelly earned a spot in St. Andrews next year for the 155th British Open.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Noah Maclauchlan of Moseley, Virginia, beat Miles Russell of Jacksonville Beach, Florida, 6 and 5 in the U.S. Junior Amateur on Saturday in the first all-left-hander final in USGA history.

The 18-year-old Maclauchlan — No. 2,047 in the world amateur ranking — joined Brian Harman (2003) and Cory Whitsett (2007) as the only left-handed winners in the event.

“I don’t really have words right now,” Maclauchlan said. “It’s pretty surreal, pretty unbelievable to call myself a United States Junior champion. To have my name next to all the legends that have won this, including Tiger (Woods) and so many more, is so special.”

Maclauchlan earned a spot next year in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. Both finalists are exempt next month in the U.S. Amateur at Merion, although Russell was already in that field.

TROON, Scotland (AP) — South Korean golfer Jenny Shin maintained her five-shot lead at the Women's Scottish Open after round three on Saturday.

Shin carded a 1-under 71 after two birdies and a bogey just after the turn.

She's chasing her second LPGA Tour win and first since the Texas Shootout more than 10 years ago. Leading since the first round, Shin admitted she felt early nerves on Saturday.

“There were a few times today where I was looking down at the ball but I couldn't see the ball,” she said. "So hopefully I can just focus on the things that I focused on, every single shot this week, not get ahead of myself.
