Robert MacIntyre reveals winning which tournament would top his historic victory at Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

On Sunday, Robert MacIntyre beat Tyrrell Hatton fair and square to clinch the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. This victory by MacIntyre was historic because the 29-year-old golfer became the first Scot since Colin Montgomerie (2005) to win this tournament.

After the victory, Robert MacIntyre also interacted with the media and answered several questions about his performance at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. One reporter told MacIntyre that he had already touched on how special it was to win at the Home of Golf, and further questioned him about whether he thought about great golfers like Seve Ballesteros.

While Robert MacIntyre provided a detailed answer to this question, he also revealed which tournament he thought would be better than the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. He said (via ASAP Sports):

"It's a different one obviously with everyone being at different golf courses. You'd normally be in the final group. It was different. I had a job to do and bogeyed 17 and missed that putt on 18. But I kind of thought it was good enough and it was just a matter of waiting, waiting and seeing. But look, to win anywhere in the world is special, but for a Scotsman, I won The Scottish Open. To win the Dunhill at the Home of Golf, there's no other place you want to win golf tournaments, and the only one that potentially would top this would be an Open Championship at St Andrews."

Robert MacIntyre's Alfred Dunhill Links Championship win has been celebrated by fans on social media. Even Tyrrell Hatton, who finished second in this competition, sent MacIntyre a message via X (formerly Twitter). Hatton congratulated MacIntyre and told him he was doing Scotland proud.
