“I’ve not been shy in saying it,” Titleist Brand Ambassador Robert MacIntyre said after Saturday’s third round. “The Scottish Open is the one I want.”
Playing a Pro V1 golf ball and a Titleist setup that includes his TSR2 driver, 620 CB irons and Vokey Design wedges, the 27-year-old Scot eagled the par-5 16th to tie the lead, then birdied 18 to claim his second PGA TOUR victory, both coming in his last five starts.
MacIntyre gained more than eight shots tee-to-green (+8.7/4th) over the four days at The Renaissance Club, including more than five shots with his approach play (+5.307/6th).

Robert MacIntyre’s victory on Sunday in Scotland marked the eighth consecutive week that a Titleist golf ball player has won on the PGA TOUR. In total, 24 events this season have been won with a Pro V1 or Pro V1x model, more than eight times the nearest competitor with three.
Since launching at the Memorial Tournament in June, over 100 players have already gamed a GT driver on the PGA TOUR. This week at the Genesis Scottish Open, there were 35 GT drivers in play, while there were 44 in play at the ISCO Championship. Titleist was the most played driver at both the Genesis Scottish Open (55, 35%) and the ISCO Championship (66, 42%).
Among those who have moved into GT metals is the 2013 Masters champion, who plays a NEW GT2 10.0 driver and added a NEW GT2 15.0 fairway to his bag at the start of the week. He finished runner-up at 17 under, gaining 4.124 strokes on the field off the tee (5th). His solo second-place finish was his best of the season.
Robert MacIntyre gamed four Vokey wedges in his winning setup: NEW Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, SM9 50.08F, 56.10S, WedgeWorks 60.06K. MacIntyre relied on the same loft and grind configurations to win his first PGA TOUR start at the RBC Canadian Open last month. This week, he gained 0.695 shots around the greens and went 11-for-16 in up-and-downs.
