In the last round, he made one birdie and four bogeys. Unfortunately, the first and second holes were where two of these bogeys occurred. During the news conference following the event, MacIntyre made it clear that this was not the start he had anticipated. The golfer clarified, quoted by Asap Sports:"No, I got off to an absolutely horrific start. I just expected jumpers on 1 and 2. 1, it's come out dead, and then it's got a massive mud ball just short of the green. Hard to control the chip. But I just felt great going out today. I wasn't even expecting to be over par, to be honest. I was really expecting to go out there, foot down, and perform the way I have the last couple days."MacIntyre continued:"My golf ball was going miles today. I don't know why. I need to work that out. But when I got the game back in somewhat of a shape, I went over the back of the par-3s. I feel I've hit good shots, and I've gone miles."Robert MacIntyre's next tournament will be the Tour Championship, the FedEx Playoffs' last event. Only the top 30 players will compete, and MacIntyre is undoubtedly one of the favorites to win the entire tournament with his most recent performance.
