Moment fuming Bob MacIntyre erupts amid Open frustration as Scot smacks bag and launches club in the air

But the Oban ace largely managed to keep his cool after carding a third round 70 to sit on six-under-par in his quest to improve on a joint sixth pace finish on his debut at Royal Portrush six years ago. 3 Bob MacIntyre on the 14th hole 3 He launched his club in frustration after his second shot 3 He also hit his bag in frustration too He said: 'I was a bit disappointed. I wasn't as sharp as I've been the past couple days. 'I also think it's fair game to lose the plot every now and again. I feel like we've made the wrong decision off the tee on 14, which then made the second shot really difficult as a left-handed golfer. 'The first job was to get out of the bunker, and I hit it over the top. I've lost the plot on both of these shots when a bit of anger came out. 'Then when I'm hitting that putt, I've got a clear head, got a job to do, to get this thing up-and-down. 'I find it easy just now. I find it easier in the bigger golf tournaments, the ones where birdies aren't happening all the time, when you can actually feel as though good golf gets rewarded. 'The tougher the test, the more I feel I can keep that discipline. The more there's a birdie fest and a shootout, that's when I lose it properly.' He also revealed that he almost burst into tears when he learned he would start the third round five shots adrift of Scheffler. He said: 'When I left here yesterday, I thought beautiful links golf works its magic, and I'm sitting on my couch almost in tears because I'm watching flags are limp and guys are spinning it on greens. 'I thought walking away from here last night that I wouldn't be more than three shots back, but I ended up five shots back from the best player in the world. 'You feel like you can still be in it if something happens, but you just feel that little bit too far back. Watch moment Scots golf ace Robert MacIntyre wins new fans with 'pure class' gesture after US Open heartbreak 'I don't know if that had an effect on what I felt. I was having to push a little bit more, and a couple of mistakes came in early on. 'Now tomorrow the aim is to go out there and finish as high as I can and get as many World Ranking and Ryder Cup points as possible. 'But unless I get off to a hot, hot start, it's probably out the window. If we don't get off to a hot start, it's going to be how high can we finish here. 'Unless I do have a hot start and I see myself close to the lead and within a few shots, then we'll throw at it. But seeing the leaderboard, it's just jogging for position.'

His swing 'as good as it's ever been,' can Bryson DeChambeau figure out The Open?

Bryson DeChambeau sits down with the media before the 2025 Open Championship, discussing the thick breeze at Royal Portrush, LIV seeking World Ranking points and more. PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — As a popular YouTuber and golfing enigma, Bryson DeChambeau is known for coming up with some wacky, radical ideas. 'The Scientist' might have another one in the pipeline. 'This is going to be wild,' DeChambeau proffered at The Open on Tuesday, 'but imagine a scenario where you've got a 400-yard tent, and you can just hit any type of shot with any wind with all the fans. 'That's what I imagine, like in a hangar or something like that. A big stadium. That would be cool to test.' Don't put it past DeChambeau to go through with it. After all, he's open to anything if it means improving his patchy record at golf's oldest major championship. The 31-year-old American has played seven times at The Open Championship, where handling the fickle weather can be the key to success. He missed the cut on three occasions and only finished inside the top 30 once. It's a record that frustrates one of the sport's deeper thinkers. He remembers playing well at the Walker Cup at Royal Lytham St. Anne's — one of the courses on The Open rotation — back in 2015, and was quick to point out he coped fine in windy conditions in LIV Golf events in Miami and Valderrama this year. Place him in The Open, though, and he can get blown away — like last year at Royal Troon, when he shot 76-75 to miss the cut and said afterward: 'I can do it when it's warm and not windy.' 'The times I've been over here, for some reason, my golf swing hasn't been where it needs to be,' DeChambeau said Tuesday. 'Right now it feels as good as it's ever been. Hitting it far, hitting it straight as I can, and learning how to putt better on these greens in windy conditions and rain and all that. 'It's just figuring it out. It's just going to take time and something that I never really experienced growing up in California.' Lifting the claret jug — as unlikely as it would be, given his Open woes — would deliver the two-time U.S. Open champion a third major title and no doubt boost the already-swelling audience on his YouTube channel that has risen to more than 2 million subscribers. His popularity is clear over in Northern Ireland, too. Late Monday, dozens of people — mostly kids — were seen waiting outside Portrush to get a photo with, or the autograph of, DeChambeau. He obliged, happily. DeChambeau is using YouTube to have some fun and to show the world a different side to him. He even suggested it's just as important as the results he gets. 'I'm not going to be here forever,' he said. 'What footprint do I want to leave? I think it humbles me and almost makes me more passionate about what I'm doing off the professional golf course. Golf Channel Staff, 'Am I going to get frustrated playing bad golf?' he posed. 'Yeah. Am I going to want to still sign autographs? Yeah, because I care about the game.' That's not to say he doesn't still have a burning desire to win at Portrush this week — and secure a result that will impress Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley in the process, ahead of the match against Europe in September. 'I feel pressure every week to play good for not only Keegan, but myself, and the people that I love online and everybody that's watching me,' DeChambeau said. 'I'll walk through the fire,' he added, 'rather than run away from it.'

Andy Farrell's treatment of Marcus Smith on Lions tour is odd

We now have some idea of the level of the Australian team that will face the British and Irish Lions in the looming first Test. It is a team ranked eighth in the world that has just narrowly, and unconvincingly, beaten Fiji, who are ranked ninth. Although they will improve from that run out, nobody can honestly pretend that they are near the Springboks or All Blacks. As such, the only acceptable return for the Lions is at least a series win. You might claim that this is easy to say from the sidelines, but it is equally easy to hype the contest, ignoring the realistic prism. Three of the countries that make up this Lions' squad are ranked higher than their hosts and the aggregate of their talents should prevail. The Lions are no longer a bunch of amateurs who get together with just a manager and a coach and try to meld themselves into an effective unit. They are a highly professional outfit, that have significant funding, and a coaching and management team that is equally well resourced and experienced. What makes it difficult to judge the likely outcome of the Test series is that, to a large extent, the warm-up games represent a phoney war, in which neither opponent wants to declare their hand. Andy Farrell, the Lions' head coach, is trying to juggle the need to give every player a chance and giving his preferred selections the opportunity to test their unit skills in real time, as opposed to on the training field. That said, making this judgment has not been helped by the lack of logic in the decisions concerning two players – Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell. Some say that Marcus Smith was fortunate to be picked from the outset, but it is odd that he has not been given a chance to start a game in his best position at fly-half. He can play at 15, but it is clearly not his strongest deployment. It could be that he is being lined up for a role from the bench as cover for both positions. This would allow Andy Farrell to choose a 6-2 split because the other back will have to be a scrum-half. If this is not so, it is hard to see why he was selected from the start. This speculation is muddied by the much-discussed call-up of Owen Farrell. I do not subscribe to the claims of nepotism made by some; both Farrells are too professional for that. It also the right of any manager to pick the players they want because it is their head on the block when this all plays out. I reiterate a point I made weeks ago – why Owen Farrell was not picked in the squad from the outset, if it was his father's intention to select him at all? His selection could have been justified on the grounds of his experience and track record for the Lions but that was always the case. Nothing has happened since then that makes that case stronger. Had this been done originally, we would not now be waiting for him to have game time and to see whether he has recaptured his form at a level at which he has not played for some time. Farrell Snr is reported to have said that the call-up was because of a need for experience and that Owen Farrell will be looked at as competing for the 10 and 12 positions. If this is the case, as has been pointed out by several other former Lions' greats, it is impossible to link his selection to the injury and withdrawal of the unlucky Elliot Daly. An earlier selection would have enabled the Lions to have tested a Plan B option of a more structured game; something at which Owen Farrell excels. If anything, the greatest need for cover is at full-back, because the Scottish centres, Huw Jones and Sione Tuipulotu, are looking a likely pairing and Tommy Freeman can also cover at centre and his form at the moment is unquestionable, whatever position he might play. If you do want to look for an area where logic can more readily be applied, you should look at the back row, where Andy Farrell has to decide whether to go with two similar flankers like Jac Morgan and Josh van der Flier or pick a more traditional blindside flanker with more bulk. That choice will influence the type of No 8 he wants – a flier like Ben Earl or Henry Pollock or a more powerful ball carrier, like Jack Conan. Still, all this has given my old mate David Campese the chance to annoy everybody and tell us that 'it's not like it was in my day'. So, it is not all bad.
