TROON, Scotland — Any other year, Robert MacIntyre would have wasted little time coming across his native Scotland for the British Open to begin preparations for the final major championship tournament of the year for men’s golf.
That would have meant interrupting his celebration, though.
And this was a big one.
MacIntyre hit one of his top goals for the year Sunday when he won the Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club. He was not shy in saying he desperately wanted to win it. He delivered a magical ending with an eagle-par-birdie finish for a one-stroke victory.
And then it was time start the party.
