Robert MacIntyre may not have thought much of the clubs that helped him win the Canadian Open title – but we've had a peek.
MacIntyre had a lot going on but his father played as a caddy which may have been just the thing for the homesick Scotsman to record his first PGA Tour victory.
His father Dougie answered a late call to step in as an emergency responder and couldn't believe he found himself at the heart of a magical PGA Tour moment.
“It's unbelievable. I'm a lawnmower,” said Dougie, pausing in his emotions. “Not a caddy. Not the caddy. Honestly, it's unbelievable.”
“I wanted to win this for you, dad.” ❤️

A purse of more than $1.6m has given MacIntyre a new sense of freedom and he said he may leave home for a spell before joining the PGA Tour.
“No, my father is on a flight home on Monday,” MacIntyre said when asked if his father would be in his bag for the Memorial in Muirfield.
“I think me and my girlfriend can go home again on Monday and have a helluva party at home because this is amazing.”
The original MacIntyre club sets are a real mixed bag, albeit one owned by Titleist.
He uses a Titleist TSR2 driver, Titleist 620 CB irons, Titleist Vokey Design SM10 and SM9 wedges with one WedgeWorks wedge thrown in for good measure.
For his championship ball, he also uses the Titleist Pro V1.
He is one of the few players on tour to use a hybrid, using the TaylorMade Stealth 2 Rescue instead of a long iron.
MacIntyre also uses a TaylorMade green as his favorite Spider Tour putter.
His Cobra Aerojet LS 3-wood is something of an outdoor club, but it shows that your bag should be filled with what you want.
