PGA Tour: Robert MacIntyre says his transition to American tour has been ‘wild’

Robert MacIntyre has described his first five months on the PGA Tour in America as “wild”.

The 27-year-old Ryder Cup player says it has been a difficult transition from playing in Europe but that he is determined to knuckle down and keep working at his game.

“It’s been wild to be honest,” said the Scot.

“It’s completely different. When you are on the DP World Tour it’s very friendly and everyone is together. If I’m struggling with certain things, then you speak to certain people and everything is very familiar.

“You come out here to the PGA Tour and it’s all so unfamiliar. There is less chat, fewer dinners. There is less of that big family feel.”

MacIntyre has played in 12 events on the PGA Tour since making the move to the United States in January and has made six cuts, with a highest finish of sixth in Mexico in February.

“I’ve been getting annoyed because I’m impatient,” he said. “But there’s so much golf still to play. It can change in a heartbeat.

“When you think things are not going well, one good shot, one feel can change it all.

“I try not to worry about the results. Last week I felt I played all right. Played solid enough but a six under cut was ridiculous.

“If you are not playing your best stuff, you’re going to be up the road early. That’s just the standard we are playing at. That’s fine. I just need to play better.”
