It was Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard who emerged triumphant with an excellent final round helping him to 21-under-par for the tournament, finishing two shots clear of fellow Ryder Cup heroes Viktor Hovland and Tommy Fleetwood, as well as Matt Wallace.
MacIntyre finished 11-under, ten shots behind the leader.
But he still managed to be at the centre of some wild celebrations.
That’s because he and 26 other tour stars took part in an incredible challenge – with Oban-born MacIntyre left with the big final moment!
In a video that’s gone viral, the golf pros took part in a Keepy Uppy challenge.
In a remarkable show of skill, each player has to keep a ball up with an iron, before passing it along to the next player. And repeat.
Standing in a line, it begins at one end with Adrian Meronk before it all comes down to player number 27 – MacIntyre.
Despite a couple of close calls, the ball spends a minute in the air, being brilliantly passed along from one player to the other.
It’s then left to MacIntyre, who is there at the end to absolutely smash the ball down the fairway with his driver.
And he does it with aplomb!
The players go wild in celebration after completing the remarkable challenge!
It wasn’t all plane sailing though as a hilarious outtakes video shows!
On a previous attempt, the ball got all the way to MacIntyre who took a WILD swing, missing the ball altogether ending up on the ground in the process.
The video of the successful challenge has been viewed more than two million times on X and has been lapped up by fans as it becomes a real viral hit.
