The Scot didn\u2019t go out quietly, though, making headlines for his behavior during Thursday\u2019s first round as his frustrations spilled over. <\/p>\n<p>There was a middle-finger gesture towards the 15th green after a quadruple bogey nine, a club slam into the turf and several expletives picked up by on-course microphones during a disastrous second nine. Afterwards, MacIntyre refused to speak to media and posted a mocked-up picture on Instagram of a Masters gnome resembling himself making the middle-finger gesture.  <\/p>\n<p>MacIntyre has now confirmed for the first time that he was indeed reprimanded by an official for his conduct following his first round 80.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, it wasn\u2019t the week I wanted but I didn\u2019t hear from anybody with a jacket, I just heard from the Rules Committee when I was in scoring,\u201d he told reporters at a media day for the Genesis Scottish Open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, yeah, other than that, I didn\u2019t think there were any problems with it. It was just like any other week, someone comes and tells me off, but if it\u2019s not my partner or my mum or dad, someone else has got to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.todays-golfer.com\/news-and-events\/majors\/the-masters\/sergio-garcia-tantrum\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sergio Garcia was reprimanded<\/a> by a tournament official for a tantrum on the second tee box that included smashing his driver into a water cooler, but MacIntyre said his warning was not similar to what happened to the Spaniard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, no,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, I thought what I done was pretty tame. Look, I\u2019m not proud of what I done. But I wear my heart on my sleeve. I play golf at the highest level and I try and compete as hard as I can. Am I disappointed in what I\u2019ve done? Yes, but could it happen again? More than likely. I try to control my emotions as much as I can, but sometimes it boils over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAm I disappointed in what I have done? Yes, but could it happen again? More than likely, so I mean I try and control my emotions as much as I can but sometimes it boils over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MacIntyre insists he won\u2019t change and does not believe his outbursts affect his performances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I\u2019m in the right frame of mind, I can go ballistic then let it go and it doesn\u2019t affect me,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I get it out respectfully then it\u2019s better for me. If you can get the anger out the way, it helps. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t be one of those guys who makes a double-bogey and waves at the crowd and smiles. That\u2019s not me, that\u2019s never going to be me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert MacIntyre has opened up on what happened after his controversial conduct at the Masters\u2026 If we\u2019ve learned&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":545227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-545226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=545226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/545227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=545226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=545226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=545226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
