One of the left-hander's goals over the next three weeks will be to better his joint-17th finish in last year's standings and he will take confidence from the fact he has already teed up another big season in 2026, helped by his top-ten finishes in both the US Open and The Open.

Bob MacIntyre makes major Ryder Cup move ahead of FedEx playoffs bid
The Scottish star gains more key ground in the chase for Bethpage Black and the huge clash with USA In-line Bob MacIntyre has edged ever closer to an automatic Ryder Cup spot as he now heads into the pivotal FedEx Cup playoffs. The Scottish star made his return to action at the Wyndham Championship after The Open and his four-under par total after another successful made cut in the United States landed him a tied-44th placed result at Sedgefield Country Club. MacIntyre's efforts saw him slightly extend his advantage over third-placed Tommy Fleetwood in the European points standings with just three events remaining before the cut-off point. Rory McIlroy has already secured his place in Luke Donald 's side for the clash against the United States at Bethpage at the end of next month. But the next five automatic slots are still open and MacIntyre sits directly behind the Grand Slam superstar in the list and is next in line to clinch one of the guaranteed places on offer for the team. The Oban star's result in Greensboro nudged his points total to 1355.84 from 1345.44 with Fleetwood on 1314.61. At this point, Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka occupy the other three remaining automatic spots with the chase heating up over the upcoming FedEx events. Most notably movers in standings after Sedgefield were English pair Matt Fitzpatrick. The Sheffield star maintained his improved recent form with a Top 10 finish that saw him move up a spot to 12th in the standings as he hunts a fourth appearance in the Ryder Cup. Rai, who is looking to make his debut for Europe, came fifth at the Wyndham in an impressive defence of the title he won in 2024 to go up two places to 12th. Runaway tournament winner Cameron Young bagged the event to break his PGA Tour title duck and rocket into contention to make Keegan Bradley's USA side for the clash. MacIntyre and many of his Euro colleagues now get set for the trio of FedEx Cup play-offs with the opening tournament coming at the FedEx St Jude Championship in Memphis. McIlroy has opted not to take part, but the majority of Donald's team contenders will tee it up in the chase to be in the Top 50 in the FedEx standings at the end of the tournament and move onto the following week's BMW Championship in Maryland. Should MacIntyre maintain his good form which has seen him secure two top 10 finishes in Majors this term, he is almost certain to be at the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta on the weekend where the points list is finalised. Donald's team will be completed with the captain making six wild-card picks at the end of this month and the squad will be together as a unit at Wentworth for the BMW PGA Championship at the start of next month as the skipper and his stars begin their final tune-up for the eagerly-anticipated encounter against Bradley's boys in New York.

Montgomerie backs MacIntyre to end Scotland's major drought
The 28-year-old from Oban finished tied-seventh at last week's Open to add to his second-place finish at the US Open in June, where he ended two shots behind JJ Spaun. Scotland hasn't had a major winner since Paul Lawrie came from 12 shots back to win the Open at Carnoustie in 1999. Montgomerie, 62, went close but finished second four times, including to Tiger Woods in the 2005 Open at St Andrews. A year later, he looked set to win the US Open but double-bogeyed the 72nd hole whilst in a tie for the lead and lost by a shot. But the eight-time European Tour Order of Merit winner thinks MacIntyre, who has five top 10 major finishes, is his country's next great hope to reign supreme at one of the sport's big four tournaments. '[MacIntyre] almost won the US Open there at Oakmont, it was a great performance from him and let's hope he takes that forward,' said Montgomerie, speaking at the launch of Ernie Els' new golf club, Els Club Vilamoura. Colin Montgomerie playing at the Els Club in Vilamoura (Image: PGA TOUR Champions) 'Another top 10 finish at [Royal] Portrush too, and he was top 10 there six years ago as well, so he's right there. He drives the ball very well, and putts extremely well. 'And who knows, with a favouring wind, you've got to be lucky, you've got to have fortune, whether it's fortune for you or unfortune for your opponent, if he has that fortune, he has every chance of winning a major.' Montgomerie is backing MacIntyre to play a key role in a European Ryder Cup victory in New York in September. Europe have not won in the US since the 'Miracle of Medinah' in 2012 but have a team stacked with talent, led by Masters champion Rory McIlroy. The teams are decided by a combination of world rankings and captain's picks but MacIntyre, ranked 14th in the world, should be an automatic choice. 'I think we've got a very good chance, I really do,' said Montgomerie – who captained Europe to victory in 2010. 'I think the team are excited about going to Bethpage. McIlroy especially wants to win away from home. 'The last seven Ryder Cups, I believe, have been won by the home team, four by Europe and three by America. 'So, it is difficult to win away from home, but at the same time, with [Jon] Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton coming back into the fold, we've got a good set [of players]. We've got a great set that are coming through. 'I think we've got every chance.' Montgomerie played a nine-hole exhibition to open the Els Club Vilamoura alongside four-time major winner Els and 2001 Open Champion David Duval. The Algarve course is a championship-standard 18-hole golf course that features a luxury clubhouse and signature amenities such as the 261 Bar, and was built on the redesigned Victoria course, which hosted the Portugal Masters from 2007 to 2022. It will host the new PGA Champions Tour event, the Portugal Invitational, after signing a five-year deal. The first edition of the event is set to be held between 31 July to 2 August 2026. Els said: 'Golf is in the pretty sweet spot at the moment and [creating this course] has been a really nice venture. We want the conditions to be absolutely perfect and for people to have a great experience and good food.' Montgomerie added: 'The golf course is superb, and the clubhouse is fantastic. It's not just a course for the present; it's a course for the future as well.'

TD names next board chair
This story was originally published on Banking Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Banking Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: TD Bank has tapped John MacIntyre as the chair of its board, effective Sept. 1, the lender said Monday, as it continues making changes to reassure investors. MacIntyre will replace Alan MacGibbon, who became chair of the board in February 2024. MacGibbon will retire, which the bank announced in January. MacIntyre has served as an independent director on the board since 2023 and chairs its human resources committee. Dive Insight: The Toronto-based lender's latest appointment aligns with its strategy to hire executives with strong regulatory experience, as the bank has started overhauling its leadership team amid an anti-money laundering scandal that resulted in more than $3 billion in penalties and a $434 billion asset cap on the bank's U.S. retail operations. MacIntyre has had a 30-year career in capital markets. Prior to joining TD, he retired as a partner emeritus from Birch Hill Capital Partners, which he co-founded in 2005. He has also served on public, private and nonprofit boards, including those of Park Lawn Corp., HomeEquity Bank, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, YMCA Toronto and the University Health Network Foundation. TD aims to benefit from MacIntyre's 'deep understanding of financial services, global capital markets, technology, and risk management,' the bank said in the press release. 'Alongside my fellow directors and in concert with our strong leadership team, I look forward to supporting TD's strategy, further strengthening governance, and delivering long-term value,' MacIntyre said in a statement Monday, thanking MacGibbon for his contribution to the board and the bank. Earlier this month, TD hired Andrew Jensen, a veteran of the Treasury Department, as head of financial crime risk management in Canada, effective July 14. He replaced Stephen Joyce, who had been serving as the interim head of the unit. In January, TD's now-CEO Raymond Chun, who at that time was soon to replace outgoing CEO Bharat Masrani, said the bank 'rebuilt' its AML team in the U.S. with a new head of U.S. financial crimes and risk management. Chun stressed the importance of lessons learned from the debacle, including the significance of experienced staff. 'You need to have talent that is commensurate with the size and complexity of a bank [like] TD,' Chun said in January. 'Talent at the most senior levels in AML is absolutely one of the top priorities that we have as an organization.' Following the AML scandal and the penalty, TD expedited its CEO succession date to February — two months before Masrani's scheduled departure in April. In April, TD named four new members to its board of directors: Elio Luongo, Nathalie Palladitcheff, Frank Pearn and Paul C. Wirth. Pearn has served as a compliance and risk executive at JPMorgan Chase, while Wirth has been a finance and accounting executive at Morgan Stanley. As part of its broader restructuring move, TD announced in May that it would cut roughly 2% of its workforce and wind down a $3 billion portfolio tied to its U.S. point-of-sale financing business.
