“This is surreal. I can’t believe it,” said MacIntyre. “Playing golf for a living has always been my dream, and winning on the PGA Tour was the ultimate goal. To do this with my dad by my side is beyond words. He’s the one who taught me how to play golf.” His father stepped in as caddie on short notice, making the victory even more special.
