2024 Open Championship: Top 10 power rankings at Royal Troon

Robert MacIntyre is on cloud nine.

His summer has already been a success based on him winning his first PGA Tour event last month in heartwarming fashion. The Scot was feeling homesick and brought his dad over across the pond to caddy for him at the RBC Canadian Open. Then they went and won the dang thing.

It seemed that may be all MacIntyre was destined for as he missed two of his next three cuts (though a T-16th at the no-cut Travelers Championship was solid).

Getting back to his home country clearly gave him life. The 27-year-old from Oban overcame a two-shot deficit to start the day, overtaking playing partner Ludvig Aberg in the final round. It looked like Aberg had it in the bag through 54 holes, but it wasn’t his day.

Then it looked like Adam Scott was going to be the man. It took a 3-3-3 on the scorecard, as well as a bomb of a birdie putt on the par-3 14th, to win by one.

“I think I lost my voice after the scream on that hole,” MacIntyre was transcribed by ASAP Sports. “I thought I was short. Look, I've put a lot of work into this. I've changed a lot within the team and I've just worked hard. I wanted The Scottish Open.”

It’s been a stated goal of MacIntyre’s that he wanted to win this tournament. He went out and got it.

Hopefully, he can (mostly) put that celebration on hold because there’s still more work to do in Scotland.

Bobby Mac will be making his fifth Open Championship appearance and first at Royal Troon.

The McNeese State University alum is 4-for-4 making the cut with T-6th in 2019 at Royal Portrush and T-8th in 2021 at Royal St. George’s.

This year at the majors, MacIntyre failed to qualify for the Masters. He took T-8th at the PGA Championship and MC’d at the U.S. Open.

Through July 7, MacIntyre is 24th on the PGA Tour in scrambling (64.42%) and 29th in Strokes Gained: Total (.777).
