South African golfer; multiple major winner
MacIntyre and Scotland are in the spotlight as the US Open looms. The Oban golfer has watched Scotland’s national team excel on the world stage while preparing for Shinnecock Hills, balancing golf with family life and a tough patch in form.
MacIntyre opens with strong rounds but cannot sustain momentum at Royal Birkdale. He finishes outside the podium as Cameron Young leads early; Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns post record rounds. MacIntyre confronts his temper in a weekend marked by frustration and warnings, while others seize the day on the Lancashire links.
Ryan Fox has won the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, finishing ten under. The win makes him New Zealand’s fourth major champion and follows a week marked by fast play and dramatic momentum. He defeated Cameron Young with a final-round surge, while the event featured record attendance and praise for Fox’s pace.
