His 2-under 68 on the final day marked a significant milestone in his career.

MacIntyre expressed his profound emotions, calling it a dream come true. 'Goose bumps. It's incredible,' he said, highlighting the special experience of winning with his father by his side. The 27-year-old Scottish left-hander finished at 16-under 264, securing victory in his 45th career PGA Tour start.
