Oban’s Robert MacIntyre is heading into the business end of the Challenge Tour season in the top 30 in the Road to Ras Al Khaimah Rankings after narrowly missing out on his breakthrough win on the circuit. The Glencruitten left -hander, who recently turned 22, made home player Kim Kuovi pull out all the stops to come out on top in the Vierumaki Finnish Challenge at the Vierumaki Resort, in north-east of Finland. The pair shared the lead heading into the final round and fought out a thrilling head-to-head battle in the €180,000 event.
