In short:

Adam Scott has been denied his first PGA Tour win in four years after a stunning comeback from Robert MacIntyre at the Scottish Open.

MacIntyre rode his luck before sinking a 22-foot birdie putt on the final green to win by one shot from Scott, with France's Romain Langasque in third.

What's next?

MacIntyre and Scott will be in action next week in Troon for the British Open where both will be among the favourites to lift the Claret Jug.

Adam Scott has narrowly missed his first PGA triumph for four years after an inspired — but fortuitous — finish enabled home favourite Robert MacIntyre to snatch victory at the Scottish Open. 

The evergreen Australian had looked on course to pick up another big win two days before his 44th birthday as he led the prestigious pre-British Open event at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick on Sunday, two shots clear with MacIntyre having just three to play.

But just as the Queenslander was dreaming of his first win since the Genesis Invitational in February 2020, European Ryder Cup player McIntyre enjoyed a moment of good fortune that altered the complexion of the tournament.

The Scot drove into heavy rough on the par-five 16th, in such a bad spot that he couldn't even see his golf ball, but after taking a practice swing, discovered he was standing on a sprinkler head near his ball.
