Robert MacIntyre’s Maiden PGA Tour Victory: A Family Affair

Robert MacIntyre made history on Sunday by securing his first PGA Tour victory at the RBC Canadian Open, and he did it with his father Dougie by his side as caddie. This emotional win was made all the more special by the fact that MacIntyre’s parents were watching from back home, and the Scottish star has promised to pay off their mortgage with his winnings.

The RBC Canadian Open was the setting for Robert MacIntyre’s maiden PGA Tour victory.

MacIntyre’s journey to the top of the leaderboard was not without its challenges. The Scottish star carded four rounds in the 60’s, finishing with a two-under-par 68 on the final day to take the title. He faced stiff competition from the likes of Ben Griffin, Victor Perez, and Rory McIlroy, but ultimately emerged victorious.

The Oban-born star headed into the final round with a four-shot lead, but it was cut down to two after he bogeyed the first hole while Griffin made birdie. However, MacIntyre composed himself, making three birdies before the turn to consolidate his position at the top. He added another at the par-four 11th, before re-opening the door with frustrating back-to-back bogeys at 12 and 13. Impressively, the Scot was able to hold his nerve, finishing with one birdie and four pars to win by a single shot.
