Robert MacIntyre to win againRobert MacIntyre loves coming back to Scotland and that’s not just because, at heart, he’s a bit of a home boy.The man from Oban has made a habit of thrilling the local crowds in recent years and in the last four editions of this event he has a first and a second.In 2023, Rory McIlroy pipped him via two closing birdies but a year later MacIntyre realised the dream of winning his home Open by holing a 22-footer at the last to take the title by a shot from Adam Scott.Last October the left-hander won another high-profile event in Scotland, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, so he really does rise to the occasion on home links turf.A top 10 at the Travelers Championship on his latest PGA Tour start a couple of weeks ago looks perfect prep Back Robert MacIntyre to win at 35/1 (1/4 odds, 5 places) with Betfred Rory McIlroy to beat Scottie Scheffler in match betRory McIlroy v Scottie Scheffler looks an intriguing match bet and, as he’s the clear 6/5 underdog with bet365, I’ll side with Rory at the prices.McIlroy has finished second, fourth and first in the last three editions of this event which gives him an advantage over Scheffer’s course form of 8-3-MC-12.Scheffler defends his Open crown next week and that may be a slight distraction to his performance here given the extra duties he’ll have to fulfil with the R&A. McIlroy is well rested and, on this course, is worth a bet to win their 72-hole match.
