MacIntyre wins his national open in Scotland with birdie to beat Adam Scott

“It's the one I wanted, and the one I got,” MacIntyre said after making a 22-foot birdie putt that fell on its last turn on the last hole for a 3-under 67 and a one-shot victory over Adam Scott. It's hard to believe how it happened — a birdie putt he thought was short, a sprinkler head he couldn't see and three metal spikes he wears in the front of his shoes. Two shots behind with three holes to play, MacIntyre was swearing up a storm when he saw his tee shot on the par-5 16th go into grass so deep he figured he would be able to advance it only 100 yards down the fairway.
