Robert MacIntyre has his eyes set on making history at the Amgen Irish Open, aiming to become the first player ever to win both the Amgen Irish Open and the Genesis Scottish Open in the same season.
The Scotsman, who has already tasted victory at the RBC Canadian Open in May and on home soil at the Genesis Scottish Open in July, is ready to take on Royal County Down from September 12-15.
In what will be his third appearance at Ireland’s national open, MacIntyre is determined to add another prestigious title to his growing collection.
“I’m really looking forward to returning to the Irish Open,” MacIntyre shared. “It has been a great season so far, and it would mean a lot to me to win another historic national open. I’ve not had the chance to play Royal County Down before.
It’s one of those courses I have heard so many good things about, so I’m really excited for the week.”
MacIntyre’s bid for history won’t come easy, though. He’ll be facing stiff competition from the likes of defending champion Vincent Norrman, who secured his title at The K Club with a thrilling final round 65.
The Swede, who notched up two wins in just three starts last year, is gearing up for his first-ever title defence on Tour.
“I’m really excited to defend my Irish Open title,” Norrman said. “This will actually be my first title defence on Tour, so it should be a really special week at Royal County Down.”
Also joining the fray is MacIntyre’s Ryder Cup teammate Nicolai Højgaard, who’s looking to finish his season strong with an eye on defending his DP World Tour Championship title in November.
The star-studded field at Royal County Down will also include big names like Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Pádraig Harrington, Billy Horschel, Luke Donald, and Ryan Fox, making this a can’t-miss event for golf fans.
