Robert MacIntyre has made it through an extremely busy period, in which he helped Europe win the Ryder Cup.
MacIntyre played through the “carnage” at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black last month, where Team Europe beat the USA 15-13.
He made three appearances for the visiting Ryder Cup team, scoring 1.5 points as MacIntyre ended the week with a 1-1-1 record.
His teammate Tommy Fleetwood top scored with four points, with Xander Schauffele and Cam Young leading the way for the hosts with three each.
Just one week later, MacIntyre won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship as he returned to the DP World Tour.
Robert MacIntyre posts message about the Ryder Cup after a ‘mad few weeks’
The Scot, who has won twice on the PGA Tour, has now looked back on a whirlwind period which brought about plenty of success.
He posted on his Instagram: “Good few days in Skye recently and some time to reflect on a mad few weeks.
“Ryder Cup from start to finish was a dream. Playing my second Ryder Cup I was more relaxed going into the week and had a good little camp before it with my team which was a great help.
“Once the week got going it was carnage but that’s what we expected so we were ready for that. We played great golf and it was fun playing alongside my boy Viktor Hovland.
“Sunday didn’t go to plan but the job was to win the Ryder Cup which we achieved and boy did we celebrate. Thanks to Luke Donald, vice captains and all the support staff for a special week.
“The Dunhill was a different kind of week with not getting back to Scotland until the Tuesday and not going to St Andrews until Wednesday afternoon.
“Had zero expectations but with the Kingsbarns weather on Friday my golf and attitude were as good as I’ve got in the conditions which kept me in the tournament.
“Saturday everyone was blown away so correct decision not to play… just wish it was called earlier so I could have had a few more donuts.
“Sunday at St Andrews is always a treat but to play the way I played alongside Tyrrell Hatton who also played magic was special.
“Thankfully in the end it was me holding the trophy this time. To win in Scotland again in front of my family and friends was special but to win at St Andrews and the Old Course is what dreams are made of.
“Thanks to all the people who helped me achieve these two dreams and the fans for the support. We keep going.”
Robert MacIntyre completes dream Ryder Cup homecoming
MacIntyre certainly knew how to celebrate his team’s Ryder Cup success, having received plenty of abuse from the American fans in New York.
He’s now a two-time Ryder Cup champion, having also played under Donald as Europe won the event in Rome in 2023.
A miraculous recovery was then made by the Scot the following week, where he edged out his European teammate Hatton to lift the title on home soil.
He has made a habit of picking up such wins, having won the Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in 2024.
After a well-earned break, the hard work will likely now start for MacIntyre as he looks ahead to the new season, while he may already be eyeing a third Ryder Cup appearance at Adare Manor in 2027.
