Rob not giving up on a major dream

GOLF Robert MacIntyre will not give up on his dream of becoming a major champion after falling just short at the US Open.

- 

MacIntyre had hopes of becoming the first Scot to win a major since Paul Lawrie in 1999 when he was the clubhouse leader on the final day at a rain-soaked Oakmont.

He produced an excellent two-under-par 68 to sit at one over and looked set for a possible play-off with JJ Spaun, who had two holes to play.

But the American saved his best for last, first driving the green for birdie at the 17th before draining a monster 65-foot-putt on the 18th to win by two shots.
