Has Robert Macintyre qualified for any of the majors next year with his tied 6th finish?

The Open. Missed out on the Masters by 2 places

“He was really slow but I don’t think it was bad compared to how he usually plays” brilliant comment from Koepka. Although nothing we’ll ever be done about Holmes him essentially losing half a million today is fantastic.

Maybe Koepka is not universally popular in America but he seems like a class act to me.

Shite that the majors are all done for the year and it's not even the last weekend in July, especially when it was largely to suit the Septics and their FedEx bollocks.

Agree. Mid July and all the majors being done and dusted is a load of nonsense.

Brilliant win for the Offaly man. I've actually played with some of his hand me down clubs.....

Fantastic - and looking very possible - that MacIntyre could be at Augusta next year. Terrific opening and closing round from him. Nae bad from a betting 200/1 each way too.
Mon Shane! Seems a top lad, just gets on with his game and no tantrums or bitching and often with a smile on his puss. Hope he holds his nerve to win this on 'home' soil too.

And goes up to 14th in the Race to Dubai standings, and takes him over £1 million in earnings for the season. Phenomenal rookie year.

Another stunning year for Koepka in the majors, but he must be disappointed with just the one win to show for it given these stats. 2 second places and a tied 4th today.

If he'd putted better the first 2 or 3 days he'd have been at least level with Lowry going into the final round. It shows how good he's become that he could hardly buy a putt and still finish 4th. 

Considering his attitude to regular tour events it'll be interesting to see how much he features on leaderboards for the rest of the year. With such a long wait until the next major I think he'll lose focus a bit.

I quite like the guy. He's not as popular as the other big time players because he doesn't give a shit about creating a "brand" or any of that bollocks. All he's focussed on is winning majors. Also enjoyed the footage on Sky last night of him tapping his watch in reference to Holmes' slow play.

Bob MacIntyre is the first Scot to finish inside the top 10 on their Open debut since 1879!
