Rory McIlroy edged a topsy-turvy battle in the North Berwick wind to win the Scottish Open despite a stunning final round from home hope Robert MacIntyre.

The Northern Irishman clinched his first-ever title in Scotland by a stroke at The Renaissance Club with a birdie on the 18th.

MacIntyre had mastered the conditions with a brilliant six-under 64 to set the target at 14 under.

But McIlroy conjured closing back-to-back birdies to deny the Scot.
