Robert McIntyre was one of the few European Rder Cup heroes who chose not to travel to India last week. Instead, the proud Scotsman spent some well-earned downtime on the aisle of Sky, finally getting the chance to process what he called a mad few weeks. Those weeks included helping Europe claim the RDER Cup at Beth Page Black, their first victory on US soil since 2012, and then returning home to Scotland to win the Alfred Dunhill Lynx Championship. The 29-year-old from Obin became the first Scott since Colum Montgomery in 2005 to lift the DP World Tour event trophy. Reflecting on Instagram, McIntyre wrote, “Good few days in sky recently and some time to reflect on a mad few weeks. Rder Cup from start to finish was a dream. Playing my second RDER Cup, I was more relaxed going into the week and had a good little camp of four with my team, which was a great help. Once the week got going, it was carnage, but that’s what we expected. So, we were ready for it. We played great golf and it was fun playing alongside my boy Victor Havland. Sunday didn’t go to plan, but the job was to win the RDER Cup, which we achieved. And boy, did we celebrate. Thanks to Luke Donald, the vice captains, and all the support staff for a special week. It was McIntyre’s second appearance in the prestigious event, and he has now been part of back-to-back European victories. Just a week later, he continued his dream run by capturing his fourth DP World Tour title and his second win on home soil, dominating the field to win the Dunnh Hill Links on the iconic old course at St. Andrews. The Dunnhill was a different kind of week, he added. I didn’t get back to Scotland until Tuesday and didn’t return to St. Andrews until Wednesday afternoon. I had zero expectations, but with the Kings Barnes weather on Friday, my golf and attitude were as good as they’ve ever been in those conditions, which kept me in the tournament. Saturday, everyone was blown away. So, the right decision was made not to play. Just wish it had been called earlier so I could have had a few more donuts. Sunday at St. Andrews is always a treat, but to play the way I did alongside Tier Hatton, who also played brilliantly, was special. Thankfully, it was me holding the trophy this time. To win in Scotland again in front of my family and friends was special, but to win at St. Andrews on the old course, that’s what dreams are made of. The victory lifted McIntyre to a career-high world ranking of number eight as he now looks ahead to the next challenge, the Abu Dhabi HSBC championship in November, where he’ll aim to continue his incredible run of form.
