He&#8217;ll also likely be playing the second round at Augusta National on best behavior after garnering some unwanted publicity on Thursday for a outburst on the 15th hole. <\/p>\n<p>Making his fourth Masters start, the Scotman&#8217;s opening round went from good to bad to abysmal after a quadruple-bogey-nine on the famed par 5. He was already running hot after putting off the green on No. 13, as evidenced by some inappropriate language picked up by the mics. But when MacIntrye was caught giving the middle finger at the water, it appears to have gotten the attention of Augusta National officials.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotsman.com\/sport\/bob-macintyre-reprimanded-by-masters-officials-over-conduct-6570491\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to The Scotsman<\/a>, MacIntyre received a reprimand after the round. The story noted that he &#8220;was reminded of a code of conduct for the event after a day to forget at Augusta National \u2026 One of the officials had a word with him after signing for his hugely-disappointing effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two-time PGA Tour winner posted a eight-over 80, finshing 82nd of the 91 players in the field. On top of the incidents at 13 and 15, he was also seen slamming his club on No. 17 after a disappointing second shot. That\u2019s quite an opening round! Understandably, perhaps MacIntyre did not speak to the waiting media after finishing on the 18th.<\/p>\n<p>As our Joel Beall commented after the round, golfers blowing off steam is understandable\u2014the headline of his story was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golfdigest.com\/story\/masters-2026-macintyre-hatton-reactions\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cSometimes golf needs to be told to go to hell\u201d<\/a>\u2014but maybe next time MacIntyre might want to not make things too obvious for the always-watching Masters officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert MacIntyre needs to post a low number on Friday if he&#8217;s going to be playing this weekend&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[1657,10904,461,10903,10901,1282,1562,10905,10902,10906,82],"class_list":["post-27352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-robert-macintyre","tag-augusta-national","tag-bad-behavior","tag-golf-news","tag-masters-2026-robert-macintyre-reprimanded-by-augusta-national-officials-over-language-and-obscene-gesture","tag-masters-officials","tag-masters2026","tag-robert-macintyre","tag-robert-macintyre-augusta-national","tag-robert-macintyre-middle-finger","tag-robert-macintyre-reprimanded","tag-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
