Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell all but secured his place in Europe's Ryder Cup team after he clinched a two-shot victory at the Scottish Open.
McDowell shot a final round of 68 to finish the tournament on 13 under, with James Kingston in second place.
Richard Green and Miguel Angel Jimenez were a further shot back in third.
Simon Khan was fifth after two double bogeys in the last six holes cost him the lead but he did get the consolation of qualifying for next week's Open.
McDowell capitalised on Khan's slip, carding three consecutive birdies to move into a lead he never relinquished as he wrapped up his second European Tour win of the season and the fourth of his career.
Ernie Els, a two-time winner of the tournament, finished joint ninth, while world number two Phil Mickelson ended the day 11 shots off the pace.
