In the game of “showdown”, this atypical formula having reset the scores of the 19 best players this Sunday morning (after having done the same with the 32 best ranked on Saturday morning), it is the Scottish Robert MacIntyre who wins in this very refreshing Cyprus Showdown.
The 24-year-old takes his first trophy on the European Tour thanks to a finish champion: five birdies on his last nine holes, including holes 15, 17 and 18. His 65 (-7) leaves his first Japanese rival Masahiro Kawamura to one stroke and the Spaniard Jorge Campillo to two.
“My game was there from tee to green, it was even brilliant the last two weeks but my putter was still as cold asmarble, MacIntyre said after his victory. When the rain interrupted the game, I went to my cart and said, “It’s time to show who we are”. “
Levy is reassured
Voted best rookie of the year last season (3 tops-2 and 7 tops-10, 11th in the Race), the young Scotsman finished 3rd last week at the Cyprus Open, on the same course at the Aphrodite Hills Resort .
With a last card of 68 (-3), Alexander Levy, the only French survivor of the showdown, finished in 7th place in the Cypriot tournament. The five-time winner of the circuit signs his first top-10 since August 2019.
