Jerry Kelly wins the 2026 ISPS Handa Senior Open (Senior British Open) at Gleneagles, securing his third major title on the PGA Tour Champions. The 59-year-old American finishes at 10-under 270 after posting a 2-under 68 on the Kings course in his final round. He records four birdies and two bogeys and closes the tournament with a key sequence on the 18th hole, including a clutch bunker shot, to hold off a trio of challengers. Kelly’s victory comes after prior Senior Major wins, including the Senior Players Championship in 2020 and 2022, and it gives him the Senior Claret Jug trophy, which he has said he wanted while competing as an over-50 golfer. Across reports, the outcome is consistent: Kelly leads through the final hole, maintains his position against the field, and wins the Senior Open by two shots. The win further reinforces Kelly’s status as a PGA Tour Champions major winner.
