Robert MacIntyre is seeing signs that his game is starting to come back around.

MacIntyre will look to continue trending in a positive direction this week when he defends his RBC Canadian Open title at TPC Toronto. The 28-year-old left-hander from Scotland captured his maiden PGA Tour title last season in his 45th career PGA start, with his father as his fill-in caddie to boot.

Currently 20th in the Official World Golf Ranking, MacIntyre recorded a T6 at the Charles Schwab Challenge and a T20 at The Memorial.

“Look, the last two weeks have been pretty good for me,” he said Tuesday. “Starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s not been kind of easy sailing for me this year. It’s been a little bit of trying to fix certain things. But now I feel like we’re on the right path and the game’s starting to kind of merge together.”

That said, MacIntyre opted to reminisce a bit after venturing to Hamilton Golf & Country Club in Ontario.

“I went and played Hamilton yesterday with my dad with two of the members at Hamilton,” he said. “We had a nice day yesterday to try and kind of relive the memories and enjoy what we achieved, to be honest with you. It was something special that I probably will never do again in my life. Obviously I had my dad on the bag. But we went there and just hung out for four or five hours and just enjoyed everyone’s company.”

Although MacIntyre has endured his fair share of struggles this year, that doesn’t mean the two-time PGA Tour winner is completely down on his game.

“Look, life’s been good,” he said. “Last year I struggled a little bit with the adjustments of life on the PGA Tour, but this year it’s been more — almost more golf, it’s just golf-related, to be honest with you. Tee to green, I’ve been really good. Chipping has not been the best. Not that I’ve got a problem, it’s just I’m chipping on grainy greens that I’m not used to. I’m used to bentgrass.

“… To be honest, right now my game’s in a great spot again, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.”
