As Grant Forrest prepares to defend his Nexo Championship title, the Scot admits he would have like to have “kicked on a bit more” from his “massive” win last year.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old earned his second DP World Tour success at the Trump International Golf Links but has found the going hard since.<\/p>\n
With just one top 10 finish in his 15 tournament outings this season, Forrest told BBC Scotland: “I think besides that week last year it wasn’t the best of seasons but it is really tough to win out here.<\/p>\n
“You have got to take a lot from that and keep believing that the good weeks are good enough.<\/p>\n
“Ideally, I would like to have kicked on a bit more but there is still a lot of golf left to play this season and it is a long journey this game.<\/p>\n
“You have just got to stay patient and keep believing that the good weeks will show up and shrug the bad weeks off.”<\/p>\n
Forrest is currently 241st in the world rankings and 94th in the Race to Dubai standings.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on his 2025 victory in Aberdeenshire, he added: “It was massive. I hadn’t had the best of seasons up to this week last year.<\/p>\n
“I had a really good Friday to put me in the mix and a strong Saturday. On paper, it probably looked comfortable in the end by four shots, with a six-shot lead going down the last, but it was anything but.<\/p>\n
“I am looking forward to not only defending but just getting back to golf.<\/p>\n
“I have had a nice break, five weeks since the Scottish Open, so really looking forward to getting going again.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Grant Forrest prepares to defend his Nexo Championship title, the Scot admits he would have like to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":864019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-864018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=864018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/864018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/864019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=864018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=864018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=864018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
