Robert MacIntyre is currently one of the best golfers in Europe and the world. His impressive results on the PGA Tour cause optimism in the golf public, and some wonder if this is just the beginning for the Scottish golfer? Golf fans in Scotland have huge optimism regarding the future of the great golfer, who finished T7 at last week's Open Championship.
MacIntyre was equally impressive at the US Open last month, finishing two shots behind J.J. Spaun.
Colin Montgomerie, an experienced face of the golf scene, believes that the 29-year-old is well on his way to winning the first Major in his career, but will he succeed in this next year?
[MacIntyre] almost won the US Open there at Oakmont, it was a great performance from him and lets hope he takes that forward, said Montgomerie, speaking at the launch of Ernie Els new golf club, Els Club Vilamoura.

Another top 10 finish at [Royal] Portrush too, and he was top 10 there six years ago as well, so hes right there. He drives the ball very well, and putts extremely well.
And who knows, with a favouring wind, youve got to be lucky, youve got to have fortune, whether it's fortune for you or unfortune for your opponent, if he has that fortune, he has every chance of winning a major.- Montgomerie said, as quoted by National World.
Ryder Cup
A lot of attention will be focused on the Ryder Cup, which is being held in Royal Portrush in September this year. MacIntyre will be an important link of the European team, which, led by Luke Donald, wants to do a great feat.
While mostly pessimistic messages come, knowing how difficult it is to celebrate on away soil, Montgomerie believes that the European team has a great chance to celebrate at the Ryder Cup.
