Overview
- Kelly closed with a 2-under 68 and holed a short birdie putt after an up-and-down from a greenside bunker on the par-5 18th to finish 10-under 270 and win by two shots on Sunday at Gleneagles.
- The victory is Kelly's third senior major title, though outlets differ on his career total on the PGA Tour Champions with reports showing 13 wins and others showing 14.
- Matt Gogel, Darren Fichardt and Cameron Percy tied for second at 8-under while Scotland's Stephen Gallacher shot a course-best 62 to finish solo fifth.
- Kelly earned about $447,800 for the win and the top five finishers each took home more than $100,000; the ISPS Handa Senior Open was the fifth and final senior major of the PGA Tour Champions season.
- Beyond the prize money, the win gives Kelly an exemption into the 155th Open at St Andrews and strengthens his standing as the tour moves into the remaining regular-season events ahead of the Charles Schwab Cup postseason.
