They say you never forget the first time. And in Robert’s case MacIntyrewill always remember this Sunday, the day he was able to raise his arms for the first time in victory at PGA Tour. The 27-year-old Scottish golfer (August 3, 1996, Oban, Great Britain) was declared the champion of Canadian Open Golf and he celebrates it in an emotional way, with his father, the man who made him fall in love with this sport.
“That’s the guy who taught me the game of golf. He was trying to tell me to stay focused, make a smooth swing…”he said, looking at his father after winning the Canadian Open after posting a final day of two under par, with a 68 stroke, in Hamilton Golf and Country Club of Ontariofor a total of 264 (-16).
“I’m speechless. This means everything to my family and me. Holding it in my hands makes me cry with joy, but I’m laughing because I didn’t think this was possible. “All the support I’ve received from Scotland for me and my family… I honestly can’t believe it.”he said excitedly after beating Benjamin Griffin by one stroke (16).
The Brit will have to sweat hard to win. He had to see how his four-stroke lead was almost gone, but he reacted with birdies on holes 4, 7 and 8, regaining the helm without tension, because he was angry at how much he was distracted by drone he uses. . After a bogey on the 13th hole gave hope to his pursuers, MacIntyre He birdied the 15th and pared the last three holes to win.
Griffin pressured MacIntyre with birdies on the 15th, 16th and 17th holes to try to force the Scot’s mistake or playoff on the final hole, but in that finish he was unable to repeat a birdie that would have given him the last head-to-head.
