Robert McIntyre played a crucial role in team Europe’s Rder Cup triumph in New York last month, but the journey was anything but smooth for the Scottish golfer. The 28-year-old helped Europe successfully defend the title. They had won in Rome two years earlier as Luke Donald side fended off a furious late charge from team USA to seal a 15-13 victory. After dominating the opening two days, it appeared Europe was cruising toward an easy Sunday win. But as the singles matches unfolded, the Americans mounted a fierce comeback that had European fans on edge with the host claiming 5.5 points from the first seven matches. The tension inside the European camp began to rise. Thankfully, Shane Lowry’s have match against Russell Henley ensured Europe would retain the cup and further halves from Trell Hatton and McIntyre officially secured the win. Still, the Scott admitted that at one point he feared he might have been the one to throw it all away. Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland’s The Saturday’s Show, McIntyre recalled the roller coaster emotions of that dramatic Sunday afternoon. It was horrible. He said, “You feel like it’s just you and your caddy against America.” When I teed off, I honestly thought this will be over by the time I reached the eighth hole because there was so much blue on the board. But when I got to eight or nine, suddenly it was more even and then more red started to appear. Matches going down the 18th kept flipping to red. and I thought, “This is getting tight. This could come down to my match.” I missed a putt on the 15th and thought, “I’ve just lost the RDER Cup for us.” I did the same thing in Rome, missed a putt on 14 and thought exactly the same, that I’d lost it. Despite the nerves, McIntyre steadied himself and clawed back against Sam Burns to earn a vital half point. Although Hatton’s result had already clinched the cup by then, the Scott’s resilience added one more crucial contribution to Europe’s tally to o keep calm under the immense pressure. McIntyre said he leaned on lessons from his childhood sport, shinny, a traditional Scottish game similar to field hockey. I just thought, what would I do in a game of shinny if they scored in the 80th minute to go one to zero up? He explained, you can’t just drop your head and give up. You still got 10 minutes to come back. It’s the same in football. It’s that never say die mindset that not only helped McIntyre keep his composure in the heat of the RDER Cup, but also ensured Europe’s grip on golf’s most prestigious team, Trophy, remained firm.
