Scotland is widely acknowledged as the 'Home of Golf', but I don't think anyone would disagree that Scottish golf has been going through something of a lean spell.
In the late 80s Sandy Lyle won two major championships and the Scottish flag flew high on the world rankings through the 90s with Colin Montgomerie dominating European golf.
In 1999 Paul Lawrie won the Open Championship at Carnoustie, but since that moment success from golf's homeland have been in short supply. That is until now.
On Sunday in the south of Spain, Paul Lawrie won his first tournament since 2002 with a one-shot victory at the Andalucia Open in Malaga. Leader by one shot at the start of the day Lawrie suffered a nightmare start and fell three strokes behind over the front nine.
However, he birdied holes 10, 11, 12 and 14 and could even afford a dropped shot at the last as he held off Sweden's Johan Edfors and Chile's Felipe Aguilar.
Nine years is a long time and it is a long time for a Major champion to go without a win; his last tournament success came at the Wales Open at Celtic Manor in 2002 and, after one bogey in the Scot's previous three rounds, it appeared the pressure may be telling when he dropped shots on three of his first five holes. When you haven't done it in a while you can forget how to win, and that is when you need to dig deep and take the positives from the past.
Lawrie managed to do that and surely his success inspired another Scot, Martin Laird just a few hours later.
Laird became the first European to win at Bay Hill in its 33-year history as he defied the challenge of American Steve Marino over the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational to win by a single shot.
The Scot squandered his two-shot overnight lead, but recovered to overtake Marino with two holes to play. A solid approach over water at the last and a two-putt from about 80ft ensured a second PGA Tour title for Laird.
Only a year ago Scotland didn't have any representatives in the world's top 100 players and it was difficult to see where the next 'Monty' was going to come from. Lawrie's victory in Spain has shot him back into the top 150, but he still has some distance to go if he is to join the elite once again.
Laird is a much safer bet; after a consistent couple of seasons, the US-based Glaswegian is now up to 21st in the world; the highest position held by a Scotsman since Monty was in his prime.
With Stephen Gallacher also now in the top 100 and many young players starting to come through, Scottish golf looks to be on the up.
With the Ryder Cup to be held at Gleneagles in 2014 the incentive is there for a home player to make the team; surely there can be no better feeling than to represent that team in your homeland, and when your homeland is the 'Home of Golf' it would be extra special.
