Robert MacIntyre shoots 3-under 67 – Round 4 highlights in Genesis Scottish Open 2024

It was going to be Adam Scott’s first TOUR title in four-plus years. He had answered the bell at every turn on the back nine Sunday at the Genesis Scottish Open, and most of his fellow contenders had faded away.

Then local favorite Robert MacIntyre snatched the title with an eagle at the par-5 16th and a 22-foot birdie at the par-5 18th, much to the crowd’s delight at The Renaissance Club.

Scott’s victory drought will extend another week, but there’s plenty for the classy Australian to feel good about as he heads to Royal Troon for The 152nd Open Championship. It’s his season-best finish by far (previously a T8 at the WM Phoenix Open in February), and he moves from No. 71 to projected No. 49 on the season-long FedExCup standings. The top 70 after next month’s Wyndham Championship will qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs; Scott now moves from the Playoffs bubble to a mostly safe bet.
