St. Andrews resident

SCOT

Think of a short, informal term for someone from the country where this famous golf course is located.

"St. Andrews" hints at Scotland, since it’s a famous town there (home to the university and golf). The clue plays on the idea of a "resident," which in crosswords often means a short, informal term for someone from that place—like "Scot" for a Scottish person. The answer is simply "SCOT," dropping the "t" from "Scott" or using it as a standalone label.
