MacIntyre was on route to Geneva Airport and return flight home when confirmation of his automatic selection in Luke Donald’s European side was confirmed and this after Poland’s ...

No, Robert MacIntyre wasted little time in packing-up his golf clubs and jumping in a waiting courtesy car for the two-hour odd journey to Geneva Airport and a flight back to his beloved Scotland. It had been a third straight frustrating visit to the Omega European Masters for MacIntyre, as evident in taking a double-bogey down the final hole after sending ...

Indeed, if it were not for the event being the final Ryder Cup ...

Ryder Cup selection rival Yannick Paul has timely thrown down the gauntlet at the feet of Scot Robert MacIntyre on day one of the Omega European Masters.
