A closing nine-under-par 63 in the third and final round of  the weather-disrupted event at Castle Stuart for a 19-under 197  total earned Donald a four-stroke win over Sweden’s Fredrik  Andersson Hed.

A share of third place gave rookie Scott Jamieson of Britain  the final British Open slot on offer.
