Home favourite Robert MacIntyre took full advantage of an extraordinary stroke of luck to win the Genesis Scottish Open at the Renaissance Club.

MacIntyre, who was 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 in a rollercoaster final round.
