'Right now I want to smash my clubs up to be honest with you...'
The Chronicle
|August 19, 2025
BOB MacIntyre’s qualification for Europe's Ryder Cup team offered him little immediate consolation after he blew a four-shot lead to lose the BMW Championship to world number one Scottie Scheffler.
The Scot's hopes of victory in the penultimate FedEx Cup playoff event were eventually extinguished when Scheffler chipped in for an unlikely birdie at the 17th to give himself a two-stroke lead going down the last.
A second-place finish not only moved MacIntyre into the world’s top 10 - he is now eighth - for the first time but also left only Rory McIlroy ahead of him in Europe’s team standings.
That secured his place at Bethpage next month, with the Northern Irishman and England’s Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood already qualified, to play in a second successive Ryder Cup but he was furious walking off the Caves Valley course in Maryland.
Asked what improvements he felt he needed to make the left-hander said: "I mean, right now, not a clue. Right now I want to go and smash up my golf clubs, to be honest with you."
