Following the Danish Golf Championship<\/a>, where Jeff Winther won in his homeland for his second DP World Tour title, this week, the action comes from Scotland with the Nexo Championship.<\/p>\n

The event is being held at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire for the second consecutive edition.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A year ago, local hero Grant Forrest beat Joe Dean by four shots for his second DP World Tour title.<\/p>\n

However, in the defence of his title, Forrest was well off the pace with a round to play, on two over, 11 behind 54-hole leader Shaun Norris.<\/p>\n

The South African holds a two-shot lead over Matthew Jordan<\/a>, helped by an albatross during the third round.<\/p>\n

When Forrest stormed to victory 12 months ago, he collected a check for $467,500 from an overall purse of $2.75m.<\/p>\n

However, this year, there’s even more at stake, with $3m on the table and the winner set for a $510,000 payday.<\/p>\n
