Robert MacIntyre had a heated interaction with fans during the third round of the BMW Championship, but it served to raise his competitive edge.

Robert MacIntyre is not backing down from anyone this week. Not even the World No. 1 or some rowdy American fans.

First Bob MacIntyre faced down the US hecklers who were no doubt warming up their dimwitted jousts for next month’s Ryder Cup. And then the Scot holed a 40-footer on the last to signal to Scottie Scheffler that he will not simply be swept aside for a £2.

MacIntyre mostly went blow for blow against the world’s best player in the third round, shooting 68 to Scheffler’s 67, and by making a 41-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole, he gave himself a four-shot cushion heading into the penultimate Sunday of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Robert MacIntyre was up to the test of facing the No. 1 player in the world on Moving Day at the BMW Championship, shooting a 2-under 68 to hold a four-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler entering the event's final round.

One day it was the putter, another day it was the irons. No one had a lower score than Robert MacIntyre both of those rounds at the BMW Championship, and his reward for his 6-under 64 on Friday was a five-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler going into the weekend.

Robert MacIntyre received some advice from countryman Andy Murray that has helped him improve his results in his professional career.

Un día fue el putter, el otro fueron los hierros. Nadie tuvo un mejor marcador que Robert MacIntyre en ambas rondas del Campeonato
