MacIntyre, 27, pulled off a dramatic victory on the 18th hole at the Renaissance Club two weeks ago to win his home tournament in front of a delighted crowd.
He said: “I wanted the Scottish Open, I got the Scottish Open.”
“I think I lost my voice after screaming on that (last) hole.
“I thought I was short (on the last putt).
“Look, I put a lot of work into this.
“I have made a lot of changes to my team and worked hard.
“I had a bit of luck on No. 16, but you need a bit of luck to win golf tournaments.
“This is what I wanted. Now there’s more to achieve.”
The Glencrutten Golf Club veteran vowed to “celebrate hard” when interviewed on the green after recording his second Tour win in five events.
He said: “Next week is a new week but let me tell you, I will celebrate it with my family, friends and everyone here. I will celebrate it with great pomp and show.”
“When we get to the Open, we’ll get to the Open.”
In fact, he had to reschedule his pre-tournament press conference at Royal Troon because he was recovering from a hangover.
