I have played many games of golf in and around Aberdeen in Scotland but never in Aberdeen, Maryland.
And it came as no surprise to learn Aberdeen, Maryland was named after its mother namesake in Scotland ...

Westwood, who captured the event in 2007, has long been attached to the club located near Newcastle and in north-east England.

Kyle Barker tightened his grip on the Golf Citizen Abu Dhabi Open by extending his lead to four shots as England’s Todd Clements moved to the fringes of contention heading into the final round at Yas Links, Abu Dhabi, on Tuesday.
