Close<\/a>Senior college football writer Multiple Authors<\/p>\n SOUTHPORT, England — Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre<\/a> was given a code-of-conduct warning by The R&A for slamming his driver into the ground in anger on the 16th tee box during the final round of The Open on Sunday.<\/p>\n After his round, MacIntyre wasn’t taken aback about being disciplined for his on-course behavior.<\/p>\n “I expect to get a few of them in my career,” he said. “Yeah, I run hot. So be it.”<\/p>\n It was the fourth conduct warning in the majors this season.<\/p>\n MacIntyre was hoping to climb into contention for his first major championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club. Instead, he posted a 1-over 71 for the second straight round. He tied for 28th with a 72-hole total of 2-under 278.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n McIntyre took out his frustration after his tee shot on the 16th flew into the native area on the right.<\/p>\n “Yeah, I’m going to do it for the rest of my career,” said MacIntyre, who made a bogey 5 on the hole. “I try and toe the line, but when you feel you’re playing a golf course that you can hit it pretty much anywhere and there’s no real punishment, and then you do hit one slightly off-line and you get the biggest punishment you can possibly get, it’s just a sore one.<\/p>\n “Again, I’m going to react aggressively at times. Part of my DNA.”<\/p>\n Spain’s Jon Rahm<\/a> was given a code-of-conduct warning in Friday’s second round for throwing his club<\/a> after a bad tee shot on the par-3 15th hole.<\/p>\n
