MacIntyre ‘Fearful’ Of Spectators In The States Getting Too Close.
Top-ranked Scot Robert MacIntyre has admitted to being ‘fearful’ of spectators getting too close while competing Stateside.
MacIntyre, and speaking ahead of this week’s European Tour Made in Himmerland (Denmark), highlighted examples during last week’s PGA Championship when he may have been off-line with a shot but was then very concerned with the crowd gathering too close ahead of playing executing a next on the Ocean Course.

McDowell’s US Open Qualifying Chances Dashed By Two Dallas Rain Delays.
Former champ Graeme McDowell has seen two rain delays over two days of what was supposed to be a one-day 36-hole qualifier in Dallas ruin his chances of qualifying for next month’s US Open
McDowell’s 10-year exemption in lifting the gleaming US Open trophy on Father’s Day in 2011 along the shoreline at Pebble Beach ended last year at Bethpage Park on New York’s Long Island.

Koepka Highly Critical Of Kiawah Crowd Control Measures.
While full of praise for Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka was highly critical of crowd control measures at the final hole of the 103rd PGA Championship at Kiawah Island.
PGA Championship organisers allowed 10,000 fans a day to attend the championship and the majority seemed to flood onto the final fairway in scenes reminiscent of Tiger Woods 2018 Tour Championship triumph in suburban Atlanta.
And while Mickelson spoke afterwards saying … “It was a little bit unnerving but it was exceptionally awesome, ...
Harrington Secures Best Major Finish In Eight Years But Laughs Off Teeing-Up In Ryder Cup
Padraig Harrington laughed off any suggestions of teeing-up later this year at the Ryder Cup following a best finish in the majors in eight years.
Harrington, 49, brilliantly rolled back the years to post a final round 69 and a score matched by playing partner and countryman Shane Lowry to be then tied for clubhouse lead but technically sharing fourth place at the 103rd PGA Championship at Kiawah Island.
The fellow Open Champions began the last round at one-over par and after the closing 18 holes ...
MacIntyre ‘Livid’ After A Penultimate Hole Bitter Blow At Kiawah Island.
A bitterly disappointed Robert MacIntyre can return home with his head held high despite a bitter 71st hole blow at the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island.

After the clear disappointment of bogeying the last a day earlier, MacIntyre burst from the blocks on day four with a ...
Mickelson Creates Historic First In Pro Golf: “Can You Move That Drone?”
Phil Mickelson may be on his way to a historic PGA Championship triumph but he was leaving nothing to chance and also creating history of another kind early on day three at Kiawah Island.
Mickelson has chosen a 6-iron and was about to play his second shot at the par-4 fourth hole when he spotted a drone in the South Carolina sky.
The drone was not making a noise as it was well in the distance as he prepared to play a shot of 178-yards into a 12mph wind.
Bizarrely, the drone was in Mickelson’s ...
