BIO
After two years of trying and three 2nd place finishes, Robert (or Bob as he is often known) finally bagged his first European Tour title at the 2020 Cyprus Showdown, a shootout event where all 16 players started the final round at level par. The Scot had already been in the world's top 100 since the end of 2019 but the victory lifted him inside the top 60 by the end of 2020.
Five Top 10's in 2021 capped off another solid year.
MacIntyre is an extremely talented left handed golfer with an aggressive game. Much of his results depend on his putting, but if he can improve on the greens, he can be expected to go from strength to strength following his win in Cyprus.
He has commented that he prefers events where you don't need to go mega low to win. He has performed extremely well in Dubai recently with poor Sunday efforts costing him a win. He can be backed in any Dubai event.

Significant Quotes
November 2020
"I went to see Paul, a psychologist, who has helped me, helped me in a huge way. I was coming down the stretch there just knowing what to do - just take your time and be yourself."
"I didn’t have the motivation for a wee while, I wasn’t wanting to play golf and wasn’t enjoying it. I finally got the bug back and it’s what happens. You start practising more, enjoying it, you could see the smile on my face last week, never mind this week."
