Robert MacIntyre is an Open champion in his native Scotland. It's not the British Open but it sure feels that way for the 27-year-old from Oban. MacIntyre seized on a huge break to make eagle on the par-5 16th hole. The winner was a 22-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 67 to beat Adam Scott by one shot.

“I think I lost my voice with the scream on that hole,” he said. “It’s incredible. Next week is a new week but I tell you, I’m going to celebrate this with my family, friends, and everyone here. I’m going to celebrate this one hard. We’ll pitch up to The Open when we pitch up to The Open.” Scott, who closed with a 67, was in the scoring room watching on television when MacIntyre made the winning putt. He was on the verge of ending four years without a victory.
MacIntyre was three shots back, playing in the group behind Scott, when his fortunes turned with a 40-foot birdie putt on the 14th. He twice had to make 4-foot putts for par after ramming birdie chances too hard. The loudest cheer was for the last putt, and MacIntyre crouched and put his hands over his head as he waited for Aberg to finish out his round.Scott took solace from being in contention for the first time this year and nearly pulling it off.
