Officials expected to reprimand Scottish player
MacIntyre to miss cut with seven-over-par total
Robert MacIntyre declined interview requests for a second Masters day in succession, with the fiery Scot facing a reprimand from Augusta National over his behaviour in the closing stages of round one.
MacIntyre’s miserable visit to Georgia concluded with a 71, which ensured he missed the cut at seven over par. The key damage had been done on Thursday, when MacIntyre slumped to an 80 which included a quadruple bogey nine at the 15th.
The player’s reaction there, and elsewhere on the back nine, will inevitably lead to Masters officials having a stern word with the world No 8. Live television coverage picked up MacIntyre releasing a series of expletives. The left-hander whacked the turf in anger after being disappointed with his approach to the 14th. One hole later, having found water, MacIntyre raised his hand to offer a middle-fingered gesture.
