FIRST THOUGHT

How special of a win was the Scottish Open for Robert MacIntyre? Well, the 27-year-old became just the second Scot to win the title since it was first contested on the European Tour in 1972. MacIntyre, of Oban, Scotland, joins Colin Montgomerie in achieving the feat. The victory was MacIntyre's second on the PGA Tour, the first being in June at the RBC Canadian Open.
