ABERDEEN, Scotland (AP) — Scott Jamieson won the Nexo Championship by two shots at one of President Donald Trump’s golf courses in Scotland on Sunday, securing a first European tour title in 14 years.

The 42-year-old Scot shot 5-under 67 and finished on 11-under par overall at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire.

It was his second title on the tour, after winning the Nelson Mandela Championship in South Africa in 2012.

England’s Matthew Jordan was runner-up after shooting 70 and compatriot Andy Sullivan (68) was two strokes further back in third.

Overnight leader Shaun Norris shot 76 and tied for seventh place.

Boston Symphony Orchestra and musicians extend contract for 48 hours, delaying possible first strike

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Symphony Orchestra says it agreed with its musicians to a 48-hour extension of their collective bargaining agreement, allowing more time for negotiations to head off what could be the first strike in the ensemble’s 145-year history. The Boston Musicians’ Association said Saturday it had authorized a strike ahead of the expiration of the union’s three-year contract at 11:59 p.m. Sunday. The BSO said Sunday the contract had been extended to 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. BSO CEO Chad Smith said Sunday that the extension had been agreed to pending a ratification vote by the Boston Musicians’ Association and the Boston Symphony Orchestra Players’ Committee. The unions did not respond to a request for comment. The orchestra and management have had strained relations since BSO decided in March to force out music director Andris Nelsons next summer after 13 seasons.
