Robert MacIntyre is definitely one of the more interesting players at the Scottish Open. The 28-year-old golfer finished the first round with -2, which he can be satisfied with considering a slightly worse start.
In an interview with the media, the Scottish golfer admitted his start wasn’t promising and that his ambitions might have been a bit too high.
The young golfer understood that the wind was a serious obstacle, so he knew that patience could be a decisive factor.
In the end, it can be said that MacIntyre took advantage of a great opportunity.
“Yeah, really happy with it. Got off to a ropey start, you want to birdie the par 5s. Hit it high on 10, poor chip. Then got lucky on 12, I think it is. Thankfully I didn’t listen to the marshals. Marshals were telling me it was out-of-bounds. But no sign of the golf ball and managed to find it a yard and a half inbounds, got the drop and made bogey.
From there on, it was get back to the basics. Make sure we played a lot more the with wind because the ball is getting affected so much more here than it has been the last couple of months. But overall happy with that.”- he said.
Scottish fans: How crucial their support is for MacIntyre
MacIntyre surprised the public by winning this tournament a year ago, but defending the title is surely an even tougher challenge. This tournament evokes only positive emotions in the Scottish golfer.
The Scottish golfer is grateful for the support coming from fans in Scotland, admitting that he believes in his team.
His ambitions can be felt in every sentence, but it is clear that without the support that comes from all sides, his success would not be possible.
The question is whether Bob can lift the trophy again in this tournament. That would certainly be an important moment for this young golfer, who showed last year that he could really become a golfer who will belong to the very top of the golf scene.
