He was unable to fend off Scottie Scheffler at the BMW Championship, but Robert MacIntyre did earn an automatic qualifying spot on the Ryder Cup team.

Scotland's Robert MacIntyre and England's Tyrrell Hatton clinched spots on Team Europe's Ryder Cup squad with their weekend performances. MacIntyre jumped from fourth to second on the European Ryder Cup points list -- trailing only Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy -- after claiming second place at the PGA Tour's BMW Championship.

No-one will be more disappointed than Oban man to lose four-shot lead but it is by no means the end of the world

MacIntyre mostly went blow for blow against the world’s best player in the third round, shooting 68 to Scheffler’s 67, and by making a 41-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole, he gave himself a four-shot cushion heading into the penultimate Sunday of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs.

The Scotsman didn't want to comment on what fans said Sunday at Caves Vallery, but he was mostly disappointed in his final-round performance.

Robert MacIntyre could only applaud from the scoring room when J.J. Spaun wrapped up the U.S. Open with his epic putt at Oakmont two months ago.

Robert MacIntyre arrived in Caves Valley this weekend ready to play. Finishing the round with a four-shot lead, the Scottish professional will start the final round of the BMW Championship in first place.

In the Orange and White game, both Jake Merklinger and MacIntyre got reps at QB, and one could argue that the Tennessee football true freshman (MacIntyre) had the better performance. In fact, his performance did enough to make fans question whether he was the QB choice following the game.
