GOLF HOME HERO Bob: I'll have 40 chances to cross the Major bridge

Oban's finest banking on a big decade

- BY JIM BLACK

THERE is only one thing currently missing from Bob MacIntyre's CV - a Major.

Scotland's biggest sporting hero has already achieved more over the past five years than the majority of his rivals do in an entire career.

Two Ryder Cup wins, four DP World Tour titles and the Canadian Open and not even 30 yet. But the Oban man said after conquering the Old Course to register a four-shot victory at the Dunhill Links Championship: ‘It's no secret. A major championship is what I need or what I want.

“But if I play every major for the next 10 years, it's 40 chances, and I'm hoping that in one of them I'm going to fall across the line. I've got goals and I know I've got the game. It’s now just about piecing it all together.

“I've got Augusta next year and we’ll give that a go. If I do that sooner rather than later, we add to that.”

MacIntyre came within a whisker of living his dream when he was runner-up to JJ Spaun at this year's US Open.
