MacIntyre from Oban, the left-handed winner of the Scottish amateur
championship last year, has made a winning start to the 2016 domestic
competitive season by capturing the Scottish champion of champions title
at Leven links over the weekend.
The
Glencruitten Golf Club member, pictured, who recently returned from college in
the United States, shot a 21-under-par total of 263 over the par-71
lay-out to win by a single stroke from halfway leader Liam Johnston
(Dumfries and County).
MacIntyre
surged into the lead with a third-round 65 to Johnston's par 71 but had
to shoot a final round of five-under 66 to hold the fast finishing
Johnston, also a former US college student, at bay.
Liam closed with a 64 for 264
Former
Scottish amateur kingpin Barry Hume (Haggs Castle) who shot the
tournament low of 10-under-par 61 in the first round will not be
credited with a new course record as preferred lies were in operation.
Hume finished third on 13-under-par 271, seven shots behind runner-up Johnston.
Hume won the Leven Gold Medal tournament over the course last autumn.
