HOME favourite Robert MacIntyre took full advantage of an extraordinary stroke of luck to win the Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club.
MacIntyre, denied the title 12 months ago by Rory McIlroy's stunning finish, produced one of his own after trailing Adam Scott by two shots with three to play.
The left-hander made an eagle on the par-five 16th following a brilliant approach shot, albeit only after a free drop from kneehigh rough after discovering a sprinkler head near his ball.
That took MacIntyre alongside Scott on 17 under par and, to the delight of a raucous home crowd, he holed from 20 feet for birdie on the 18th to complete a remarkable triumph.
