Bob MacIntyre says helping Europe win the Ryder Cup is “everything” after scoring a vital point in Rome.
MacIntyre’s 2&1 win over Wyndham Clark contributed to a 16½-11½ win over the United States.
It was the 27-year-old Scot’s debut at the event.
“I knew the excitement would be incredibly high, but the most important thing was to win back the Ryder Cup and we did that,” he told ` Scotland.
“It’s all. It also means everything to my family and friends. There was a big crowd from home that came over and I’m just glad we did it.”
“It was nerve-wracking. I was feeling good early on and made a little mistake coming in. I just persevered and accepted what was going to happen and I managed to grab a few when I came in.”
MacIntyre has secured three professional victories on his way to the top 50 in the world.
“I’m a realist, I don’t know if it will be my first and last or if it will be my first of many,” he explained. “I’m just taking each day as it comes and we’ll work hard and hopefully get back here.”
And when asked about the expected party in his hometown of Oban, MacIntyre replied: “I’ll be there tomorrow night.”
