David Law, a 34-year-old from Aberdeen, a pro since 2011, scored the first of his three wins on the tour back in 2018 (Scottish Hydro Challenge). His list of achievements also includes a title on the DP World Tour (Vic Open, 2019), two on the Pro Golf Tour, and one on the Mena Golf Tour. Everything was decided practically on the final hole when Law capped his winning run with a birdie (68, -4, five birdies, one bogey), while both Blixt and Plant made a bogey. Law received a check for 48,000 out of a 300,000 prize pool.

The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are played outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respecting the rules is a fundamental element in the game of golf, which, almost always based on self-control and the free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to the failure of many players to comply with the rules of the game. In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing the game with due respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
