Unreal Scenes: Scotland's Own Robert MacIntyre Drills A 22-Foot Birdie Putt To Win The Scottish Open, Entire Country Goes Nuts With Him

It's coming home baby! What a putt by Bobby Mac. Actually it's more than just the putt. The man eagled 16, got a par on the par-3 17th and then drilled this birdie on 18. That's how you win YOUR Open. That's right, capital letters and all. This is the one that Robert MacIntyre wanted. This is what it means when you win your country's Open. 

Look, I know there's a lot of talk about the relief he got from the fescue. It's not his fault. He did the right thing and noticed the sprinkler head:

It's the rule not him. But who cares? This is about the moment plus there's not a soul on Earth who goes out of their way to cheer against Robert MacIntyre. He's beloved. He's the guy who should win the Scottish Open. Sure, it may have taken a little bit of a collapse/disaster from Aberg. It took some luck. He had to beat out Adam Scott, but all that matters is Robert MacIntyre is your 2024 Scottish Open.
