Robert Macintyre shows a class in defeat and on the course Sunday at us open

Oakmont, PA. – Robert Macintyre almost harmonized the biggest return back feedback in American open history.

Instead, only the possession of another place had to be settled, but on the day that the winner – involved – they had their problems, Macintyre shook hands and oakmmont and time with apl.

Macintyr shot on Sunday 2 or less than 68 years to finish the tournament to 1 over – two strikes behind JJ Spaun. Macintyre was at the beginning of the day seven moves back from the leaders I Burns. He actually settled 10 shots on burns, but he could not surpass the spaon.

“I think I walked up 14 years old, and I saw the leader that the leader was even. I kind of knew where I was in 3, I think I’ve been in three years,” I said at the time. “The whole week, I said the level in my head. I just look for four even a couple. Almost arrived there but not exactly.”

As Macintyr spoke, Spaun was still on course. Playoffs – or even an open victory for Macintyr – she was still possible. When the spaon rolled in his magnificent bird, at 18 to end up in 1 below, the camera recordings showed macintyr’s plies.

Arnold Palmer is still the only American open winner that will come from seven moves behind in the last round. He made him in 1960. years at Cherry Hills.

Palmer burried six of his first seven holes on that day. Macintyre’s rally was more about the stay on the water and waited for the leaders to return. The left handle from Scotland was actually thrown by two of their first three holes that will fall to 5, but four feet started in the right direction with 5 feet for eagles on a couple-5-quarter.

“Such a kind settled me,” he said. .

Macintyr said he dried his shirt and continued to stretch over a 97-minute time delay that interrupted the final circle. He crashed, was sharp, hit a tee shot just short of green on a par-4 17. He had only more than 30 feet in the last hole, but Spaun finished the tournament with two straight birds to win.

But Macintyr has done enough to make it. Of the top six finishes, only Macintyr was kicked in the final day. And Scot was the only player in the field that shot the floor on Saturday and Sunday.

“Today I was a day I told myself, why not? Why wouldn’t that be today?” He said. “When I got in, and I just believed myself, I trust my Caddy Mike (Burrow), I trust all the work I did.”

Macintyre was a member of the European winning glass Ryder Cup 2023. Years. He won in the first two Natuses of the PGA tour last year in the Canadian open and scottish open.

Although she was from Scotland, he did not necessarily give him an advantage in wet weather in Oakmont.

“When that rain happened, I wouldn’t be out. I’d be in a closed like you,” he said. “Fair-Weather Golfer now that I moved to the PGA tour.”
