RYDER CUP star Robert MacIntyre was hailed by golf fans after they spotted a Colosseum puzzle behind him in a selfie he shared from his hotel room.

The Scot, 27, is set to make his Ryder Cup debut for Europe in Rome on Friday.

And he showed his excitement ahead of the event by posing in matching Team Europe pyjamas on Tuesday night.

MacIntyre posted the mirror selfie from his room while cleaning his teeth.

He also added the short caption: “Night night





.”

But while some were entertained by the outfit on show, others were drawn to what was going on behind him.

The box for a Colosseum puzzle appeared to be stood up behind the golf star.

And MacIntyre seems to have made a start on it as the lower part of the building looked to have been put together.

It was unclear whether or not it was a LEGO-branded puzzle, but golf fans were quick to assume so as they reacted on Twitter in their droves.

One said: “Is that a Lego set I spy in the background…? Good choice.”

Another added: “Colosseum Lego is


.”

A third replied: “Is that a Lego Colosseum I spy??? Someone is getting a great Christmas pressie and it cost you nothing


.”

While a fourth responded: “Lego Colosseum all ready to go!”

MacIntyre has two European Tour wins to his name, the last of which came in the 2022 DS Automobiles Italian Open.

He managed two top 10 finishes at The Open in 2019 and 2021, but has yet to secure a top 20 finish in any of the majors over the past two years.

The Ryder Cup gets underway on Friday as Europe seek to reclaim the trophy they lost in 2021.
