"Feel like it's a matter of time," Robert MacIntyre backs himself for big major result after the Open Championship

The Open Championship 2025 marked MacIntyre’s back-to-back top-10 finish at the majors. Last month, he finished runner-up at the US Open after narrowly missing out on the title to J.J. Spaun.

Following his fifth top-10 finish in majors, MacIntyre said he believes he has the game to win big titles soon.

"I said it yesterday, I feel like it's a matter of time," he said. "If I just keep piecing it all together. This place is statistically a golf course that I should have been sharper. My wedge play was really poor this week."

"There's certain holes this week that were vital, and I played them poorly. To really top 10. But to contend was -- just wasn't sharp enough, and then tough holes, that's where the dropped shots came and ultimately cost me a real chance."

This was Robert MacIntyre's fifth top-10 finish of the 2025 season. The purse for the Open Championship was $17 million, and the 28-year-old Scot claimed $451,834 for his shared seventh-place finish.
