“This is the one I wanted and the one I got,” he said. “I can’t believe this happened.”

On the 16th hole, he hit his tee shot deep into the grass. As he approached his ball and took a practice swing, MacIntyre felt a sprinkler. He was able to make a free drop into the shorter grass, which allowed him to pull out his 6-iron and hit a shot that gave him an incredible approach.

Scott’s eagle putt tied the game, and MacIntyre won on the 18th hole.

The Scottish Open was his second PGA Tour victory and third European Tour victory of his career. He won the RBC Canadian Open last June.

The Open Championship is next on the schedule. His best finish was in 2019, when he tied for sixth. He tied for 71st last year.

“A lot of people have said, ‘He doesn’t quite have this, he doesn’t quite have that.’ But I’m fighting,” MacIntyre said. “That’s all I need.”
