Robert MacIntyre is a 27 year-old up-and-coming professional golfer. The Scotsman represented Europe at the 2023 Ryder Cup, going 2-0-1 in the Euros' thrashing of the Yanks. He won his first PGA TOUR event last weekend at the RBC Canadian Open, giving him a total of four professional wins across the globe. MacIntyre's win in Canada qualified him for entry in this weekend's elite Memorial tournament in Dublin, Ohio. Of note, his father Dougie was on his bag for the win.
His response qualified him for inclusion in the pantheon of Gheorghie golfers, joining Joel Dahmen.
Rather than claiming his slot at The Memorial, famously known as Jack Nicklaus' tournament, MacIntyre chose a different path. During the trophy ceremony on the 18th green after the event, he told CBS on-course announcer Andrea Balionis that he'd be heading back to Scotland to "have a hell of a party". FlushingIt, a social media account focused on things UK golf-related said, "As promised in his presser, Robert MacIntyre has WD from The Memorial and is returning home to celebrate his Canadian Open win. He's about to have a proper sesh."
Proper Gheorghie, young MacIntyre.
