What did Robert MacIntyre say about his final round play at the US Open?
Robert MacIntyre failed to win the US Open by two shots, and following his defeat, the golfer joined a post-tournament press conference and shared his experience of playing the final round. He added that rain delayed the match, and the back nine was tough for him. His words read:
“It didn't get off to the best of starts. I was 2-over through 3 and then holed a lovely putt on 4, par-5 for eagle. That kind of settled me down. That got me into somewhat of a groove and back in the golf tournament. Then the back nine was just all about fighting. Obviously the rain delay. My previous rain delay comebacks haven't been strong”
MacIntyre continued to share how he trusted his caddie and had faith in his hard work for the win.
“When I was going round, and I just trusted myself, trusted my caddie Mike, trusted all the work that I've done, and we're sitting here in the clubhouse nicely and just wait and see.”
