Scott Jamieson

Jamieson was born in Glasgow, Scotland. He spent four years playing amateur golf on a scholarship at Augusta State University in the U.S. Credits his time at Augusta State University with improving his short game. His dream is to earn a place in the field for the Masters Tournament, having played at Augusta National once a year during his four-year scholarship studying Business and Marketing. Met American wife Natalie during his time at college and proposed to her during a holiday to Amelia Island in Florida. His amateur career culminated with him representing his country at the Eisenhower Trophy in 2006, the year he turned professional.
After a slow start to his professional career, Jamieson won twice on theEuroPro Tour in 2009, on his way to topping the Order of Merit; he also recorded four top-20 finishes on the Challenge Tour toward the end of the year, playing off invitations. Jamieson's 2009 performance earned him full Challenge Tour status for 2010, and he produced another successful season: top-20 finishes in his final six tournaments, including a runner-up placing in the Kazakhstan Open, boosted him to 14th in the rankings, and promotion to the European Tour for 2011.
2011 Notes: Jamieson's rookie year on the European Tour got off to a quick start, as he recorded top-10 finishes in two of his first six tournaments, the Joburg Open in January and the Sicilian Open in March. He then embarked on a golden summer, recording his best European Tour finish with a 3rd place in the Open de Espana, then matching it in the BMW International Open and the Barclays Scottish Open. The latter of these gave Jamieson his largest payday to date, and qualified him for the first major of his career, the 2011 Open Championship. Finished the year 59th in the Race to Dubai with euro523,754.
2012 Notes: Got off to a good start with a T-12th at Qatar and T-5th at the Dubai Desert Classic. Added three more top-tens to end the season, T-8th at the Lyoness Open, T-4th KLM Open and T-5th ISPS Handa Perth International. Finished 53rd in the Race to Dubai standings with euro564,587.
