Following the win, MacIntyre talked about his Official World Golf Rankings and the current World Number One, Scottie Scheffler, during the post-tournament conference. There, the 29-year-old noted that he is currently ninth in the rankings, with Scheffler far ahead of him. Furthermore, the golfer added that Scheffler is truly in a different league, and it is really hard to catch him.

According to Golfing Gazette, Robert MacIntyre stated,

“I always say to these boys behind you there that I honestly don’t know how good I can be at golf. I know the level I’m at just now, and I know the effort that goes into it, and I know the effort, the things that I have to change that could potentially help me but also hurt me."

MacIntyre later added,

"But as a team, me, everyone on my team, we’ll go away and work out — I think I’m ninth in the world. Scottie Scheffler is miles ahead of everyone else. So he’s hard to catch right now."

Apart from this, the golfer also highlighted that he is not competing with other golfers, but rather focusing on his own goals.
