Robert MacIntyre celebrated his recent victory at the Genesis Scottish Open with a promise of a grand party, a commitment he made just moments after clinching the title on home soil. The win was particularly special as it unfolded in front of his friends and family, making the occasion even more memorable.
With the excitement still buzzing, MacIntyre declared, “Going to go celebrate tonight.” However, the next day brought a pre-Open Championship press conference at Royal Troon, and the question arose: would he be able to attend?
In a light-hearted moment, he joked about the likelihood of making it to the press event. “I think there might be a change of schedule,” he laughed, acknowledging that he might not be in a fit state to drive. Consequently, his press conference was postponed to Wednesday, allowing him more time to recover from the festivities.
As reporters gathered at Troon, curiosity about the celebration grew. One journalist inquired about the highlights of the night and whether anyone unexpected had reached out to congratulate him. MacIntyre responded, “No, not really. It’s just been the usual people. I’ve got a tight-knit group of friends and family.” He emphasized that while social media was buzzing with congratulations, there were no surprises in terms of who reached out.
Another reporter asked him to rate the celebration on a scale of 1 to 10. MacIntyre confidently replied, “Ten.” He explained that while he isn’t a heavy drinker, achieving a childhood dream deserved a proper celebration with loved ones. “It was quite right to go absolutely wild,” he added, reflecting on the significance of the moment.
The conversation turned to the celebratory drinks, particularly a photo shared on social media showing MacIntyre and his father, Dougie, with the trophy filled with whisky. A reporter asked how many bottles they went through and if he could keep up with his dad. MacIntyre chuckled, saying, “It was a great celebration, and it’s one that I would do all over again.” He described the night as special, filled with joy and camaraderie, creating memories he would cherish forever.
Despite the revelry, MacIntyre had to focus on his game. He played well, finishing tied for 50th after a challenging second round. However, he admitted that the celebration took a toll on him. “Physically I’m fine, but mentally I’m gone,” he said, acknowledging that the festivities had drained him. He noted that while the week following his victory was chaotic, it was essential to celebrate such significant achievements.
The question lingered: what did the victory party entail? Would MacIntyre share any photos or videos from the night? On Thursday, he delighted fans by posting five snapshots on his Instagram story, giving a glimpse into the celebration.
The first post, titled “How it started,” featured MacIntyre proudly holding the Scottish Open trophy. The second post, “Getting everyone involved,” showed a lively gathering of about 15 people in a room, drinks in hand, eagerly awaiting MacIntyre’s arrival. The atmosphere was electric, with cheers erupting as he entered, accompanied by a security guard in a bright yellow vest.
The third post, labeled “During,” captured a humorous moment with a partygoer holding a potted plant above his head. The fourth post, “The end,” was a blurry image of MacIntyre with his arms around two friends, being assisted as they headed somewhere, encapsulating the night’s revelry.
The final post, “Returning a buggy someone parked at the house,” featured a video of three men returning a buggy, with one of them raising both arms in triumph. It was clear that the night was filled with laughter and unforgettable moments.
MacIntyre had kept his promise of a celebration, and the photos revealed the fun and camaraderie shared with friends and family. The victory party was a testament to the joy of achieving a lifelong dream, surrounded by those who supported him throughout his journey.
As the dust settled from the celebration, MacIntyre reflected on the experience, knowing that such moments are rare and should be cherished. The victory at the Genesis Scottish Open was not just a personal achievement but a shared celebration of hard work, dedication, and the love of family and friends.
