Robert MacIntyre was right in the thick of things until late on in his round, eventually finshing fourth on 10 under.

“It was stressful,” said MacIntyre. “I was actually struggling to eat early in the back nine.

“It’s where I want to compete. Obviously last year was a big kind of wake-up call for me in order to know that I can really compete at the top end of world golf. I had a chance today to do something very special that obviously Sandy was the last one to do it from our country.

“Coming into that back nine, middle of that back nine I really thought I was in with a shout. The way I’m playing, driving it beautifully, putting unbelievable, it was just a matter of getting that ball inside 30 feet and then look out. Just disappointed with the bogeys on the back nine to finish, but yeah, I gave it a shot.”
