DP World Tour & PGA Tour - Genesis Scottish Open        

Robert MacIntyre birdied the last to claim an emotional home victory and win his first Rolex Series title at the Genesis Scottish Open. The home favourite produced a stunning finish 12 months ago at The Renaissance Club only to see Rory McIlroy take the title but he would not be denied again in front of his adoring fans.

It needed another big finish as he trailed by three on the back nine but he holed a long putt on the 14th, eagled the 16th after a remarkable approach from the rough to six feet and holed from 22 feet on the last to spark wild celebrations.

His closing 67 saw him finish at 18 under, one shot clear of Australian Adam Scott and two ahead of Frenchman Romain Langasque. MacIntyre had been saying all week that Scotland's national open was the "one I want" following his 2023 heartbreak when he birdied the last after a remarkable second only to see McIlroy make a gain at the 17th and then produce some magic of his own to deny him at the death. Since then MacIntyre has been part of a winning European Ryder Cup team and claimed his first - and now second - win on the PGA TOUR to go with his two previous victories on the DP World Tour.

He now moves to 16th on the Official World Golf Ranking, moves to third on the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex and top of the Closing Swing Rankings, but the title of first Scottish winner of this event since Colin Montgomerie 25 years ago is clearly the achievement he treasures most.

"I've put a lot of work into this," he said. "I've changed a lot within the team and I've just worked hard. I wanted the Scottish Open.

"The crowd has been unbelievable. The crowd support, the support of the Scottish people from 2017, 2018, 2019, the support has been unbelievable.

"Close last year but I had my chance here at the end and I just kept saying to myself, 'just take a chance, take a chance'. I took it. I can't believe it.

Alps Tour Golf - Alps de Las Castillas      

Spanish amateur Albert Boneta, 22, who has been in the lead since the opening round of the tournament, comes out on top to earn the 2024 Alps de Las Castillas title. He followed his incredible opening round of 12 under-par, 60, with a 6 under-par, 66 in yesterday’s round 2, and today he shot a 7 under-par, 65 to conclude the tournament with a three-day total of 25 under-par. Boneta, in today’s final round, made 1 eagle, 7 birdies, and 2 bogeys. His opening round tied the tournament course record set at Golf Lerma. He recently graduated in Finance and Psychology at New Mexico University and plans to turn professional later this year.

 After his win, Boneta was very emotional but happy: “It was an unexpected win, I played last week’s tournament, the Alps de Andalucía and learned a lot and that helped me a lot this week I must say. I’m very happy; it’s the beginning of my life as a professional player, and that’s always been my dream. There is no way better to start than with a win amongst the professionals. I was quite relaxed from the beginning of the tournament, and then I had a big advantage because I started very well, so I was not nervous, I must say.”

He added that: “I was very calm from the beginning of the tournament. I knew my game was good, and I was very relaxed the entire time. The best thing has been the putting, it’s what I’ve been working on the most lately, and it’s been phenomenal. It’s what has helped me to win because in the end, to make minus 25, no matter how well you hit the ball, you must make quite a few putts.” Boneta wants to “dedicate this win to my parents. They have supported me and have always been with me from the start. They came as they wanted to watch me play today, so this win is for them.” Winning this tournament has a big meaning for Boneta: “shows me that I am able to compete amongst the professionals, and this week allowed me to secure my card for next year, so it’s great.”

Austria’s Maximilian Steinlechner,24, winner of the 2024 Gösser Open, shot a final round of 8 under-par, 64 to conclude the tournament in 2nd place with a three-day total of 22 under-par. He made 4 birdies on the front nine holes, and once he made the turn, he made 2 birdies and 1 eagle to conclude the tournament.
