Robert MacIntyre surpasses Sandy Lyle to boost Ryder Cup hopes

Scot held 60ft putt on the 18th at Royal St George's from the dip where Lyle two-putted his way to the Open title in 1985

Sandy Lyle's dip will need to be renamed. Thirty-six years have passed since the Scot duffed a chip into a hollow by the left of Royal St George's 18th green. Lyle's two-putt recovery ensured he claimed the 114th Open Championship - by one - from Payne Stewart. Lyle, later the Masters champion, never won the Open again.

It must be a sore point in Scotland, the home of golf, that the cross of St Andrew is necessary alongside just a single player at this Open. Robert MacIntyre dreams of emulating Lyle; he surpassed him during a memorable third round moment.
