WASHINGTON - Robert MacIntyre used a red-hot putter to birdie the last six holes and surge to a three-shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood in the PGA Tour's BMW Championship in Maryland on Aug 14.
The Scot delivered a masterclass on the rain-soaked greens at Caves Valley after an afternoon thunderstorm halted first-round play for more than two hours.
"The last six holes is probably as good as I've ever putted in a stretch of holes, just so consistent," MacIntyre said after posting an eight-under 62 to tie his career low.
"When you get the eye on, it's free flowing and it's nice."
His late burst carried him past American world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler — who was in the clubhouse on four-under 66 and ended the day alone in third. Englishman Fleetwood overtook him with a 33-foot birdie at No. 18 to cap a 65.
