Overview
- Robert MacIntyre said he is not going to change his on-course temperament, explaining he needs to vent frustration to compete even as he works to manage it.
- He drew heavy criticism for gestures and club slams at Augusta, and he acknowledged receiving a reprimand after storming out of the scoring cabin.
- The Scot shot an opening 80 followed by a 71 to finish seven over and miss the cut, a sharp drop after a fourth at The Players and a runner-up at the Valero Texas Open.
- MacIntyre praised Scottie Scheffler’s laser focus and composure, saying he admires that approach but fears a robotic mindset could dull the edge in his own game.
- He plans to reset at the Genesis Scottish Open, as Augusta’s tighter conduct enforcement was also evident when Sergio Garcia was reminded of a new code after breaking his driver.
