Scottie Scheffler leaves furious opponent wanting | Golf News

Robert MacIntyre could not disguise his anger after narrowly missed out on victory and a $3.6 million top prize at the 2025 BMW Championship. After coming into the ultimate day with the lead, a four-over on Sunday noticed Scottie Scheffler swoop in and snatch the title away.

Scheffler pulled off a magic last day, leaving the 29-year-old Scottish golfer bitterly annoyed as he got here up short of a enormous win having also completed runner-up at the U.S. Open.

MacIntyre could not disguise his emotions about how issues performed out. When requested in his press convention what enhancements he may make, MacIntyre admitted he needed to “smash his clubs”.

“Right now, not a clue. Right now, I want to go and smash my golf clubs to be honest with you,” he admitted.

Scheffler’s win was highlighted by a beautiful chip-in birdie to give him the lead on the seventeenth. Even LeBron James was impressed, tweeting: “Scheffler so damn COLD out there!!”.

In addition to his strong exhibiting at this yr’s U.S. Open, MacIntyre already boasts two wins on the PGA Tour in his short profession. His second-place end at the BMW Championship bumped him up to ninth total in the FedEx Cup rankings – this doubtless secures his spot on the European Ryder Cup crew.

Still, he was tremendously disillusioned in his efficiency. “I felt great going out today. I wasn’t even expecting to be over par, to be honest. I was really expecting to go out there, foot down, and perform the way I have been the last couple of days,” MacIntyre said.

“My golf ball was going miles. I don’t know why. I need to work that out. I feel I’ve hit good shots, and I’ve gone miles.”

Sky Sports golf knowledgeable David Howell captured Scheffler’s brilliance during the U.Ok. broadcast coverage. “Golf is quite a simple game in some ways. He who controls the best normally wins, Scheffler has the magic touch,” he said.

“He’s got the unusual swing he’s had since he was a kid, and he owns it; he knows where that ball is going more often than anybody else”.

“He doesn’t get bored, he likes going about it his way, he loves his own swing and how he does it….It’s quite miraculous what he’s able to do.”

Scheffler now boasts 18 PGA Tour triumphs, that includes 4 major championships (with two captured in 2025).
