Bob MacIntyre gives inside scoop on Scottish Open party as crucial Canada lesson to prove key at Royal Troon

Bob MacIntyre went absolutely wild after his emotional Scottish Open triumph.

But the chilled-out home hero insists his spikes are firmly back on the deck as he sets about sparking another massive party at Royal Troon.
