HAMILTON — Robert MacIntyre could not have won the RBC Canadian Open without his father.
Not just because Dougie — pronounced Doogie — was his caddie for the week, but because he taught the younger MacIntyre how to play the game itself and sacrificed to give his son an opportunity to pursue his golf dreams.
"I think it makes you realize that hitting a white ball around a golf course isn't the most important thing," said MacIntyre."I mean, I've been in tears over it, kids going away from you. They become family. Despite briefly losing the lead a few times on Sunday, MacIntyre said he paid no mind to the leaderboard.
"It felt like there was a lid on the cup for most of the day for me," said Griffin."I hit so many pretty good putts, I wouldn't say like striped putts, but pretty good putts and just kept burning edges — a couple bad putts — but stayed patient." "The Canadian fans, they come out in full support year after year and it's an incredible feeling being out there, getting cheered on by all the fans," said Conners."I definitely felt the love.
