Robert MacIntyre is the best Scottish golfer in the world, but he’s not a fan of one of the game’s most famous holes in his home country.
MacIntyre tied for 25th at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday at St. Andrews, but he could’ve placed higher if not for stumbling in both weekend rounds at the Road Hole, the par-4 17th. He made a double on Saturday and then had a bogey on Sunday, after which he had plenty to say about the hole.
“Blow it up,” he grumbled. “I don’t think there are many worse holes in world of golf. It needs to be a hole you are able to hit a golf shot into and not one where you just hit it onto the green and try to get up and down.”
Tell us how you feel, Bobby Mac.
If air raid sirens all of the sudden sound around St. Andrews in the future, no need to fear. It’s just MacIntyre coming to do some course renovations.
