Final Round of The Open(source: https://www.theopen.com/)
While most of the world’s top golfers struggled through the final day with ballooning scores in the sometimes brutal weather conditions, both MacIntyre and Hatton played sublimely to soar up the leaderboard with final round scores of 3-under 68 and 2-under par 69 respectively. The superiority of their final round performances is best illustrated with the huge leap up the leaderboard both made over the final 18 holes, Hatton from 23rd to sixth and MacIntyre from 29th also to sixth.

MacIntyre is best remembered at Foshan last October for the stunning eagle that he scored on the danger filled par 5 final hole to force a play-off. And the 22 year-old Scotsman similarly finished with a flourish at Royal Portrush on Sunday, sinking a long and tricky 20 feet putt and earning a roar of appreciation from the huge gallery.
“Holing that putt was definitely the highlight of the week,” said MacIntyre. “It made it a special week. You have putts when you’re a youngster pretending it’s for the Open Championship. Unfortunately my putt wasn’t for the Open but it definitely gave you a flavor of what can happen; it gets the hairs standing at the back of your neck. That’s what you play the game for.”
“I’m a passionate person and I try my best to win a tournament,” he said. “Occasionally that spills over, and I’m human. I’m going to make mistakes from time to time. Nobody’s perfect and everybody goes about their ways differently.”
