Cameras caught Scottish golfer Robert MacIntyre making an obscene gesture Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Scottish news outlet The Scotsman<\/a> reported Friday that MacIntyre had been “reprimanded” for it.<\/p>\n

The incident unfolded on the par-5 15th hole. After sending his approach shot into the water guarding the green, MacIntyre appeared to raise a middle finger in visible frustration.<\/p>\n

Augusta National officials are known for enforcing strict decorum standards. According to The Scotsman, MacIntyre was reminded of the code of conduct by one of the officials.<\/p>\n

After a penalty drop, MacIntyre dunked another shot into the pond. After yet another drop, he blasted his next attempt over the green entirely. By the time the damage was done, he carded a quadruple-bogey nine.<\/p>\n

Entering Augusta, MacIntyre was viewed by many as a potential contender after strong showings at The Players Championship and the Texas Open. But after Thursday\u2019s performance, his chances of making the cut appear slim.<\/p>\n

For a tournament steeped in tradition and composure, MacIntyre\u2019s meltdown could end up being one of the defining storylines of the opening round.<\/p>\n
